Brazilian Chicken
Don't know if anyone else thinks like this but I find it a lot easier to not worry about carbs if I'm eating something really tasty ( i.e. not bland). I had this recently and found it really yum. It has 8g carbs per portion.
Ingredients (for 6 people)
2 onions
1 red chilli
1 inch piece root ginger
2 garlic cloves
400g tin chopped tomatoes
400g tin coconut milk
6 chicken breasts
Peel and roughly chop the first 4 ingredients ( de-seed the chilli if you don't want flame thrower breath ) and chuck them into a food processor to make a paste.
Meanwhile in a pan with a lid, lightly brown the chicken in a little oil. Take out and put to one side, then fry the paste in the same pan for about 10 minutes until the onion is soft. Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper and bring to the boil. Put the chicken back in, turn down to a bare simmer and put the lid on. Cook gently for 15 minutes until chicken is basically cooked, then add in the coconut milk, cooking for another 5 minutes. You can garnish with chopped coriander if you like.
I serve this with grated courgette flash fried in a little butter for a few minutes and rice for everybody else. Hope you like!
