what to do with chicken breasts?
if you are absolutely dead-set against rice, you can eat it as a thick stew, or put it on a slice of whole grain (or multi-grain) toast.
Artichoke chicken:
1 can (15oz) of marinade artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
3/4 cup grated parmesan
1/4 cup mayo
1/2 cup sour cream (i have thought of putting fage in instead)
2 cloves of garlic
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
preheat oven to 375.
in bowl mix together the first 5 ingredients. Place chicken in a grease baking dish and cover with artichoke mixture.
Bake 30mins or until juices run clear.
This turns out so good and you dont need pasta, rice, etc with it:) Im gonna try this in the crockpot tomorrow and will let you know how it turns out!

One tbs minced garlic, one tbs minced ginger, 2 tbs soy sauce. Let sit for as long as you can, cook, and eat on a salad or however you like it. Easy and good!

Toss small chunks of cauliflower into the skillet---you can use fresh or frozen, but fresh takes longer to cook. Pour Catalina dressing (to taste---I like LOT!)over the whole thing, cover, reduce heat, and coo****il the cauliflower forks tender. *I* eat rice with this, but you don't have to. (*grin*) It's also pretty good over chopped lettuce, or so my mom says.

For the Santa Fe- I baked off two plain chicken breasts until done. Shredded them and tossed into a bowl with a can of black beans, a can of Rotel, a tub of the Santa Fe, and some fresh chopped onion. Mixed well. In a pie plate, dump about 1/3 of the mixture onto greased bottom, top with a low carb tortilla, then a BUNCH of cheese, another 1/3 of the mixture, another low carb tortilla, more cheese, the rest of the mixture, another tortilla, some salsa or enchilada sauce and finally, more cheese- then bake at 375 for 20 minutes until bubbly and brown. Serve with guac, sour cream (we do greek yogurt) and other "taco" toppings.
For the Roasted Garlic- Bake off chicken breasts till done and shred. Toss in a bowl with 1/2c parmesan cheese, tub of Roasted Garlic, leftover Dreamfields pasta (I used spaghetti chopped up) and mix well. Dump in greased casserole dish and top with an insane amount of 6 cheese Italian blend and then buttered bread crumbs (you can omit the breadcrumbs if you want or make low carb ones from Julian or other low carb bread like I do), toss in the oven at 375 for 20 minutes until browned on top.
Both of these were a HIT and yielded a lot of leftovers for lunches and such.
