Creamed Chicken & Biscuits Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
4 biscuits
1/2 lb chicken breast meat - (boneless, sk, inless)
3 button mushrooms
3 shiitake mushrooms - or other wild, mushrooms
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp red bell pepper - (finely chopped)
1 tbsp green bell pepper - (finely chopped, )
1/2 tbsp jalapeno pepper - (finely chopped)
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 salt
1 freshly ground pepper
Recipe Preparation
Have the biscuits ready to slip into the oven to bake as you begin to
prepare the chicken.
Cut the chicken into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Slice the mushrooms, and
if you are using shiitakes, discard the stems. Heat the butter in a
skillet; when it stops foaming, add the chicken and mushrooms and
saute over moderate heat for 4 minutes. Add the peppers and cook,
stirring, over high heat for 1 more minute.
Pour the cream into the skillet and cook until it has reduced and
thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
To serve, split 4 warm biscuits and divide them between 2 plates.
Cover them with the creamed chicken.

* You can make delicious smoothies using reduced carb yogurt. Admittedly, you can't really call it cooking, but if you must have smoothies you can throw them together with reduced carb yogurt and fruit. Obviously, you should ensure you use fruit that is low in carbohydrates and use the whole fruit as the fiber is beneficial.
* Fiber is essential Decreasing the carbohydrates in your diet usually leads to fiber reduction as well. Check for reduced carbohydrate recipes that are rich in fiber to restore the balance.
