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.

Weight loss systemsThe Atkins’ Diet First invented by doctor atkins in the sixities, the atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systems over the last few years. Popular with many famous celebrities, it enables fat reduction whilst still eating foods that are normally considered bad for diets, eg bacon and egg and cheese. With the atkins diet you are supposed to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. It is often referred to as a low carbohydrate/high protein, nutrition and weight loss system. With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, including cereals and pasta made from white flour. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat continues to be nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and, as a result, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The controversial theory behind the popular atkins diet is that if we reduce your consumption of carbs, our bodies will utilize the fat we already carry and we will lose weight The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a weight loss system created by Florida-based cardiologist arthur agatston which encourages the consumption of "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston developed his dietary regime for people who have heart disease, as a result of his analysis of scientific research on other nutritional studies. Examples of good foods include, canadian bacon, turkey bacon, shrimp, feta cheese, pecan halves, lowfat milk and certain vegetables, like asparagus, collard greens and turnips. |
