Ingredients
4 chicken breast halves, skinned, boned
1 large egg
1/2 tsp dried tarragon, crumbled
3/4 cup sliced almonds, finely minced
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp unsalted butter
Salt, to taste
Freshly-ground white pepper, to taste
Blanched almond flour, for dredging
Lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
Place chicken breast halves between two sheets of plastic wrap and lightly
pound to an even 1/2-inch thickness. In a shallow bowl, beat the egg and
add the tarragon; season with salt and pepper. On a plate, combine the
minced almonds and Parmesan cheese.
Heat oil and butter in a skillet large enough to hold chicken pieces
without them touching each other. Dust the chicken breasts with almond
flour and dip in egg and then in almond/cheese mixture to coat completely.
Immediately transfer them to the skillet and sauté until golden brown,
about 1 1/2 minutes per side. (To make sure that the chicken is cooked
right through, cut into a piece. It should be pearly white, not pink in
the middle.) Transfer to heated plates, season lightly with salt and
pepper, garnish with lemon wedges.
This recipe yields 4 servings; 2.5 carb grams per serving.

Diet Almond Chicken Recipe brought to you by Diet Recipes To-Go
Weight loss systemsThe South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet started by Miami, florida-area cardiologist arthur agatston which emphasizes the consumption of "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Dr. agatston invented his weight loss regime as an aid to patients with heart conditions, as a result of his detailed analysis of scientific studies on other diets. Examples of good foods include, veal cutlets, chicken breast, shellfish, provolone cheese, pistachios, lowfat milk and certain vegetables, like split peas, cucumbers and sprouts. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index diet is based around the glycaemic index, a chart showing foods and a score illustrating the ease that the glucose and energy of the food type gets converted to glucose in the dieters blood stream. The claim is that slow release foods (ie those with a low Glycaemic index score), keep you feeling full longer and mean that you can cut down on food without being miserabl;e. It's also extremely efficient for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI foods are beneficial in preventing surges in blood glucose levels. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet initially advocated by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet isn’t expressly a fat reduction diet, nevertheless many 'zone dieters' find that they really reduce a few pounds by following it. The main theory of the Zone Diet is that if you manage to control the levels of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a consequence puts the body in a state of balance that is much more healthful than other diets, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone". Sears claims that a body that is in 'the zone' is working at its best and, as a consequence, doesn't build up fat. The most important procedure of the diet is to monitor and control the precise ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to make sure your diet has high levels of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. |
