I swore I saw this somewhere, but have since been proven wrong as I can't find it?

I'm looking to do something like shake n' bake chicken, but the wheat flour as the first ingredient makes it a no go, is there another way I could do this?

Also, are there any store bought ketchups that are SBD friendly?

The only thing I can think of for chicken is maybe trying to grind up some walnuts or other type of nut fine enough to pass off as a coating . Not sure if that would work or not though...

I have looked for sugar free ketchup and haven't found any yet. There is a recipe in one of my south beach books for ketchup though. I can post it if you need it, or it might even be in the recipes section already.

Walden Farms make a sugarfree ketchup. If your local grocer has a diabetic section...look there, that's where I found it.

For the shake and bake, I suggest using the original style Fiber One cereal...someone else chime in, but I'm pretty sure that kind is okay for SBD. It's the kind that looks like little noodles....put them in a food processor or crush them up somehow to a powderlike consistancy. Then blend in some different herbs/spices so that the "cereal taste" goes away ) other wise it'll taste like chicken dipped in cereal This also works for home made onion rings...yum...I usually put lots of garlice powder in my mixture....then whatever other herbs/spices you like...ceyenne pepper? oregano? whatever.

The original Fiber One is allowed, but not in Phase 1. Though, I noticed the other day that it has corn bran as the first ingredient, so it's probably not the best choice if we're really giong by the book. (I am still eating mine though)

oops...missed the phase 1 part....sorry...no go on the fiber one in phase one

I would recommend the almond crusted chicken found in the recipe section for phase 1 as the alternative. It's yummy!

I don't eat meat, but when I used to sometimes I would coat in Parm, then bake or sautee in a pan... gives a nice crispy coating but def adds some fat. yummy though! also, you can add italian seasonings or whatever kind you like- maybe even a mixture of parm and nuts?

I keep meaning to try that recipe... thanks for the reminder.

On Kalyn's Kitchen I found a good recipe for almond and parmesan baked tilapia that DH and I liked. I think that would work for chicken too. Try searching on there. But basically you mix together almond meal, parmesan, some spices, and coat chicken (or in the original recipe - fish) that has been covered in some acceptable fake margarine spread. And bake.

Can you buy almond meal or do you just grind up the almonds? LOL Can I use my coffee grinder to grind them or would that ruin my coffee grinder? Would I taste almonds in my coffee? LOL

I grind almonds in my tiny food processor but a coffee grinder would work. Almond flavoured coffee might be great.
I tried the almond coated chicken but found it a bit dry done in the oven. Maybe I baked it too long. I'll try again with 20 minutes baking.

I bought almond meal in the health food aisle at my grocery store. I got it for one recipe and have not tried it on chicken yet. But you have all inspired me to do so this week! Super sale on chicken so we may have it a few nights running

I combine almond flour and parm cheese, then when it's done baking, I add lemon juice and capers and parsley on top....yum.

Thanks everyone!

I saw almond meal the other day, I'll have to buy it and try this out!
