This is quick, tasty and gets in the needed daily fiber with the low calorie star…….CABBAGE!

Keto Cabbage Skillet
Use up some leftover ground beef from tacos to keep this budget friendly! It some together quick and can easily be doubled for a large crowd without busting your wallet as cabbage is the main star!
I have another pancake recipe called Keto Blender Pancake Recipe , but it uses cream cheese and the blender, which usually is not a problem, but I wanted to re-create the pancakes that mix in a bowl!
Spring is approaching and it has gotten me thinking of recipes I can have on hand for camping season!
This recipe works out well for any mix and pour situation! Another nice thing about these is that the texture is improved with the mixing of the flours in the base 🙂
They also re-heat well in a toaster!

Low Carb Whisked Pancakes
Whisk up these pancakes quickly in the morning without the need for cream cheese OR your blender!
In a large bowl, whisk all of the dry ingredients, Set aside.
In a small bowl combine the apple cider vinegar and unsweetened almond milk. Let sit while you mix the stevia, eggs, vanilla in a large bowl. Now whisk in the unsweetened almond milk/ACV combination.
Pour the wet mixture in the middle of the dry mixture. Whisk until only a few lumps remain. Let it sit 5 minutes.
Pour onto hot skillet that has been greased with a little butter or oil in 1/4 cup amounts. Let it cook until the sides round out and it lifts up a bit. Ease the turner under it and in one swoop flip it. Let it cook an additional 4-5 minutes until it is set in the middle and springs back when gently pressed.
Store under a cloth towel as you cook the rest. Will keep up to 5 days in the fridge. Warm up in a toaster or oven.

Low Carb Chicken Parmesan
Serve up this quick dinner on a weeknight as the only hands on time is a little frying in the pan! There is even a sauce that is made in the pan without sugar!
Slice chicken breasts lengthwise. In a small bowl whisk eggs, garlic powder, parsley, salt and pepper.
Add to a shallow bowl. Allow chicken cutlets to sit in the egg mixture, rotating to coat.
Allow to sit 15 minutes covered.
Chicken Breading
In a shallow bowl mix together the pork rinds, almond flour, parmesan, garlic powder and onion powder.
Dip chicken in crumb mixture one at a time after letting the egg wash drip away a bit before covering in the breading.
Flip and press lightly to coat the other side. Place the chicken cutlets on a baking sheet. Let them sit for 5 minutes while you heat up the frying oil in an oven proof skillet. The oil will be at the correct temperature when the end of a wooden spoon forms bubbles when placed in the oil.
Fry each cutlet for 5 minutes on each side with the oil at a medium temperature. Remove from the skillet once they are all fried. Remove oil from the pan and wipe clean.
Marinara Sauce
Dump all sauce ingredients in the skillet and simmer for 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
Assembling the dish
Now with the marinara sauce in the oven proof skillet, put the chicken cutlets in the sauce.
Spoon the sauce over the cutlets so they are covered. Mix all of the topping ingredients together in a small bowl then sprinkle over each cutlet in the skillet.
Place the skillet in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until bubbly and cheese is melted.
Notes
If you do not have an ovenproof skillet, put the cutlets in a 9x13 pan and cover with sauce, then cheese, proceed with baking the cutlets as described.
I normally do not choose to make pork chops because they are finicky and tend to be dried out if you do not watch them carefully!
Not when you coat them and bake them on a rack! The rack allows for the heat to get around the entire pork chop and not sit and get soggy!

My memories of Chinese take out usually involve fried rice! As a kid I would always get the chicken, my brother and Dad the beef, my Mom would get the pork. It wasn’t until I was older that I appreciated more flavors other than chicken!
My husband is a big pork fan so I made this skillet meal happen! It pays off to get the meat well seasoned and sauced before adding everythibg else! If you do not have fish sauce, consider purchasing some here as even though it’s only 1/4 tsp, it really adds the “restaurant secret ingredient” that tops off the flavors well!!
