Low Carb Fried Chicken!! {Yummy}

Ok, I know... Fried Chicken and low carb in the same sentence? No way, but it's true!! Thanks to the product, Carbquick! I toyed with the idea of using almond flour, hazelnut flour.... and finally settled on using the Carbquick.

My husband loved this dinner, served up with some Cheesy mashed turnips.... (recipe here), and a big salad! 

Low Carb Fried Chicken

Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts, cut into smaller about 3 or 4 pieces per breast

1 egg

Heavy Cream

Frying Oil (I used a mix of olive oil and coconut oil)

Garli Garni

1 Cup Carbquik

1 teaspoon oregano

1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons onion salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder


Directions:
1. Rub garli garni on chicken breast pieces.
2. Beat egg and a splash of heavy cream in a shallow bowl or dish, set aside
3. In a medium bowl mix 1 cup of carbquik with all of the spices.
4. Heat the oil on medium heat.
5. As the oil heats up, coat the chicken with the egg mixture, and then dredge chicken in the Carbquik mixture
6. Put chicken pieces in the hot oil, cook until golden brown and chicken is cooked through. (about 15 minutes)
7. Drain on paper towels.
8. Put the cooked chicken in a warm oven until it's all cooked, and then serve!

Couple of tips:
- I used 1 cup of carbquik, but it did not all get used-- so if you want, you could reduce it by about 1/4 a cup.
- Also, I used a bit extra on spices in our mix. We like spicy food, so I usually add more.

Net carbs: for approximately 2 net carbs for 1 chicken breast (3-4 pieces)
