This thread will be used to post everyone's favorite Atkins appropriate recipes! Please include the total carb count, net carbs, and phase in which it's appropriate
My personal favorite lately:
Total Carbs: 10 (including cheese); Net Carbs: 7; Appropriate in ALL phases
Ingredients:
1/4 cup feta cheese
3 cups raw spinach
1 6 ounce chicken breast
1.5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Salt and Pepper
Sautee one chicken breast in half the olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. If using a stainless steel pan, wait until the chicken is not able to stick to the pan anymore, and then flip to finish (About 10 minutes total on medium low).
Once you have flipped the chicken, pour the other half of the olive oil in a second pan. Toss the spinach in the olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and set over medium low heat covered. In 3-4 minutes, or when spinach is wilted, add 1/4 cup feta cheese and allow to melt (30 seconds - 1 minute).
At this point, both dishes should be done. Serve the chicken over the spinach and enjoy!
Warning - this is a very liberal amount of oil. If you prefer less on your spinach, feel free to use less
I like it to make an almost "sauce" for the veggies.
