We decided to try a chicken recipe from the low carb gourmet cookbook. This time we selected Chicken with Bacon, Cream and Thyme. This is a lovely moist recipe where the chicken is wrapped in bacon and cooked in cream.
Ingredients:
4 Chicken Breasts
8 Bacon Rashers
8 small thyme sprigs, or you can use dried thyme.
120ml chicken stock
240ml Double Cream
Wrap 2 bacon rashers around each chicken breast. Tuck in the thyme, if using sprigs. Fry off the breasts until browned.
Place chicken in a roasting tray and pour over the cream and stock. If using dry thyme then sprinkle this in at this stage.
Place in the oven, 180oC, for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the chicken has thickened.
As with all dishes we serve this with low carb vegetables like green beans, cauliflower or broccoli.
We enjoyed this dish as it was nice to have moist chicken with a built in sauce, which was delicious. The carbs in this will depend mostly on which stock you use but ours came in at around 2g carbs per serving. This serves 4.
Unfortunately I don't have a photo of this at the moment but next time I make it we will be sure to add one.
