4. Bunless Burger

Servings: 3

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Mc Cormicks Montreal Steak Seasoning (See note in recipe!)
• salt and pepper

Optional

• 2 tablespoons bacon drippings or olive oil
• 4 ounces sliced onion

Instructions:

1. Prep: Preheat grill and clean the grate.
2. Method: Break up the ground beef and evenly distribute the Worcestershire sauce and steak seasoning and olive oil if using).
3. Mix gently with your hands to distribute the seasoning and form into three balls. Gently press/pat into patties or use a burger press like I have pictured. If you make a slight depression in the center of your burger, it will help prevent it from puffing up in the middle.
4. Cook: Oil the grate. Season the outside of the burger patties with a light sprinkling of salt and pepper (both sides). Grill to your desired level of doneness. I like mine a little pink in the middle. Serve with your favorite extras but don't forget to count the carbs.
5. Optional: For the caramelized onions... Slice the onions. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium-low heat. When hot, add the onions and saute until softened. Add 1/2 teaspoon of erythritol and cook until beginning to brown or caramelize. This step can take up to 10 minutes.
6. NOTE: Some brands of Montreal Seasoning are saltier than others and people's taste buds are different. You may want to start with half of the amount of seasoning to see how you like it.

5. Pesto Caprese Chicken Casserole

Servings: 6

Ingredients:

• 1 lb Chicken Breast Tenders
• 1 cup Almond Flour
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tbsp Heavy Whipping Cream
• 6 oz Buffalo Sauce(pre-made)
• salt/pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Season chicken tenders with salt and pepper. Season the almond flour generously with salt and pepper.
3. Beat 1 egg together with 1 tbsp of heavy cream.
4. Dip each tender first in the egg wash and then into the seasoned almond flour. We like to place the tenders in a Tupperware container with the almond flour and shake to coat. A Ziploc bag also works well.
5. Place tenders on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes. If they are not as crispy as you would like you can additionally broil them for 2-3 minutes.
6. Allow tenders to cool for 5 minutes and then place them in a tupperware container, add the buffalo sauce and shake to coat. Gently shaking is best to prevent the batter from falling off.

6. Chicken Parmesan in a Skillet

Servings: 6

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 pounds boneless-skinless chicken breasts about 3-4 large breast halves
• salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Seasoned Crumb / Breading Mixture

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (1 oz)
• 1 cup crushed pork rinds (1 oz)
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
• 1/4 teaspoon granulated onion
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 large beaten eggs

Finishing Ingredients

• 2 cups low carb Marinara Sauce (I use Rao's)
• 6 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (1 oz)

Instructions:

Preparation

1. Let the chicken rest on the counter for 20-30 minutes before beginning. This takes the chill off and helps it cook more evenly. Then, dry the chicken with paper towels and pound to an even thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 F and place the rack in the middle position. Place the cast iron skillet over medium heat and let it begin heating.
3. Mix the dry ingredients for the crumb mixture on a dinner plate. Beat the eggs in a bowl large and shallow enough to accommodate a piece of chicken.
4. When the skillet is hot, add the oil, swirling to coat and begin...

Breading Procedure

1. Starting with the largest to smallest chicken breast, pick up a piece of chicken with a fork and place into the egg mixture, coating both sides. Let the excess drip off, then place it on top of the crumb mixture, evenly coating all sides. Using the fork, gently place the coated cutlet it into the skillet. Repeat the process for all of the chicken.

Skillet

1. Set the timer for 3 minutes and let the chicken cook undisturbed. Then, starting with the largest chicken breast, flip all of the chicken over. Turn off the heat and top the Chicken Parmesan with any remaining crumb mixture. Then spoon the sauce over each chicken breast.

Bake

1. Place the skillet in the oven, uncovered for 15-20 minutes. Remove and top the skillet chicken parmesan with the cheeses and place an oiled piece of aluminum foil over the top. Return to the oven for 5 more minutes until the cheese has melted.
2. Let rest for several minutes before serving.
