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!
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!!

Plus
1 bag of Green Giant Riced Cauliflower, steamed or stir fried till tender,approx 5 min
In a large skillet, cast iron preferred, on medium high heat start to brown and crumble the meat with the sesame seed oil. While its cooking, add and work in the other ingredients including salt and pepper. Once cooked, remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sesame oil from the veggie step. Stir in the minced garlic then throw in the veggies. Stir fry veggies till the carrots are al dente as they are the firmest veggie in the slaw mix. Top off with a pinch of black pepper.
Now stir the meat back into the skillet mixing well.
Push it all to one side and add in oil from egg step, followed by the whisked eggs and soy sauce. Keep it in that side of the skillet gently scrambling them in the pan. Once the eggs are all cooked, stir everything together, mixing well.
Take the skillet off of the heat and stir the prepared cauli-rice into it.

Low Carb Chicken Divan
3/4 cup + 1 Tbsp heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth, homemade is great here
4 Tbsp butter
1/4 tsp poultry seasoning
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2oz of cream cheese (1/4 block)
3/4 tsp xanthan gum
1 lb chicken breasts, cubed and cooked in bacon grease, or preferred oil, seasoned
2 cups broccoli, steamed till slightly fork tender
2 Tbsp crushed pork rinds, or almond flour
__________
Preheat oven to 400F.
Grease a 9 inch pie plate and set aside.
In a saucepan make the sauce. Add cream, chicken broth, 3 Tbsp butter, and seasonings to pan.
Bring to a boil then whisk in cream cheese and xanthan gum. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed since this is the main flavor of the dish. Set aside.
Melt remaining 1 Tbsp butter and add to a small bowl with crushed pork rinds or almond flour.
Add chicken and broccoli to pie plate. Pour sauce over all. Sprinkle with shredded cheese, then sprinkle with crumb mixture.
When I make broth from leftover bones I save the bits of meat off of them!
Around here, no one “eats” chicken off the bone, it is cut off before served, cause you know, kids…..so it all works out to save it!
Save the broth for other recipes like my Keto Skillet Pot Pie! You can also get a whole rotisserie chicken and use half the meat for this casserole and the other half for the pot pie!

ribs because the strings would get in my teeth and I hate that!
Every birthday for my daughter and husband we would grill 2 racks. I just HAD to find a way to make them more tender!!
So to add in moisture and break down the fibers I slow cook it for 3 hours before grilling it for 20 to 30 minutes.
It literally falls off the bone😋
You will want to make these no fuss ribs for yuppie next barbeque😍

I recommend getting everything prepped up ahead of time so it will go quickly!
Premix the batter ingredients. Precut the chicken. And you can even get the sauce ingredients together EXCEPT for the glucommannon if you wish!
