High Protein/Lo Carbers...Recipes and info

*Anya* · 12-09-2016, 06:13 PM

I bought this at a Trader Joes today. I had never seen or heard of it before. It smells so good cooking I am literally almost drooling (tmi?). I can't remember ever cooking anything that has smelled better.

It has a big total of 2 grams of carbs per serving!

I will post how it tastes when finished.

"Spatchcocked Lemon Rosemary Chicken (Fresh, not frozen)

“Expedite the chicken!” The theory goes that some hungry Irishman came up with this poultry preparation method that involves the splitting and flattening of a chicken, thus accelerating the rate of cooking, since more of surface area is in touch with the grill or other cooking surface.

In short, cooking time is shortened, and the done bird is moister (breasts don’t overcook while the rest of the bird finishes), with lots of nice, evenly crisp skin.

While Spatchcocking isn’t necessarily brain surgery, it does take some extra work in the kitchen, which some feel negates the time you save actually cooking the bird. Trader Joe’s negates this negation by providing a fully Spatchcocked Chicken, ready to grill or roast. Not only is it already ‘butterflied’ for you, it is also pre-seasoned; soaked in a brine with orange and lime juices, and marinated in extra virgin olive oil, vinegar, garlic, rosemary, parsley, and lemon slices.

Remove Trader Joe’s Spatchcocked Lemon Rosemary Chicken from its package (don’t rinse it), and put the whole thing on a pre-heated grill skin-side down until it’s well browned and its internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit on a meat thermometer.

Alternately, you can lay it skin-side down in a shallow baking pan (removing the lemon slices and placing them around the chicken), and cook at 375 degrees Fahrenheit in your oven for about an hour. Cooking time varies according to the size of your bird.

INGREDIENTS
Whole Split Chicken with Bone and Skin, Mojo Brine (Water, Orange Juice, Brown Sugar, Salt, Lime Juice), Marinade (Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Garlic, Buffered Vinegar, Rosemary, Parsley, Rosemary Extract), Lemon Slices."

Starting in October, I fell off the wagon big-time. I gained 10 pounds in 6-weeks. I didn't realize it because I had stopped weighing every day (bad move for me) until my jeans got tight.

What did I start eating again?

No pies, cakes or cookies with sugar or flour. As much of a sweet tooth as I have, I don't really miss them and if I have an urge, I can have an Atkins bar for 120 calories and 2 net carbs.

I simply started to eat bread and rolls again.

I really, really, missed them.

I have made bread substitutes but to me, they are not the same. I did get some awesome low carb angel rolls from Amazon once, from a company called LC but they are expensive.

I have to work out my bread addiction on a more permanent basis.

I am on the no-bread train again and that will mean no stuffing in my turkey for me

and I am going through withdrawal, but the craving is decreasing.

I saw a new specialist this week and what does he say to me?

"A low carb eating plan would be best for you. Do you know how to do that?".

Duh.
