What to make for dinner on a low carb, gluten free diet? Part II

Wednesday Night's Dinner

Chicken Parmesan – Gluten free and low carb

Ingredients:

1 – 1.5 lb. chicken breast (pound to make tender)

3 tbs. Gluten-free bread crumbs (Schar brand)

¼ cup almond flour

1 tsp. Italian seasoning

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. pepper

1 egg

¼ cup coconut milk

Low sugar marinara sauce (I use Trader Joe’s Tomato Basil Marinara)

3 -5 ounces of provolone cheese

Directions:

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

- Combine bread crumbs, almond flour, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in bowl.
- In a separate bowl combine one egg and coconut milk (can substitute your milk preference, (i.e. almond milk).

- Dip each chicken breast into egg mixture, then dip into bread crumb mixture, and place on a greased baking pan.Bake for 30 minutes.

- Top chicken with cheese and tomato sauce. Then bake for another 5 – 10 minutes.

Eggplant Fries or Eggplant noodles (makes a great replacement for both fries and noodles)

Ingredients:

1 Eggplant (feeds two)

2 tbs. Olive oil

Salt/pepper to taste

Directions:

- Slice raw eggplant into thin strips (I cut the eggplant with a knife, lengthwise into four sections; then use kitchen shears/scissors to cut the sections into fine strips, and discard the heavy seeded pieces).

- Place eggplant strips in a skillet with olive oil.

- Cook over med – high heat for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low and cook until desired crispiness or noodle-like texture.
