Try serving this with a salad, a broccoli dish, or both.
YIELD: 4 servings, each with 2 grams of carbohydrates and 1 gram of fiber, for a total of 1 gram of usable carbs and 30 grams of protein.
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- Salt
- 3 tablespoons peanut oil
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Place a chicken breast in a large, heavy, zipper-lock bag and, using a hammer, meat tenderizer, or what-have-you, pound it until it’s 1/4 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
- Sprinkle each side of each breast evenly with 1/2 tablespoon of sesame seeds, and lightly salt.
- Heat the peanut oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and saute for about 5 minutes each side, or until lightly golden. (You may have to do this in two batches; keep the first batch warm on an oven-proof plate in the oven, on its lowest temperature setting.) Serve.
