A quick and easy, low-carb chicken casserole recipe. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Melt margarine in a roasting pan with minced garlic in the preheated oven. Add chicken, garlic powder, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper; mix well. Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink, 20 to 25 minutes.
Another difficulty with being on a special diet can be finding a way to mesh the diet guidelines with what the rest of your family wants to eat. But this baked chicken recipe gives you only 5 carbs per serving and is still something the entire family will still love. The secret?
If you are strictly focused on low carb, and don’t care about fat content, use chicken thighs or breasts with the skin on for an even crispier crunch. Just remember to adjust your cooking time depending on the cut you use. You’ll soothe that noisy fried chicken craving but won’t sacrifice your health, or your diet.
The key to diet-friendly baked chicken is to make smart swaps. Cut out or reduce foods you’re trying to avoid (they aren’t “bad”) and add in alternatives that still give you the flavor and texture you’re looking for. When I’m trying to create a healthy alternative for our regular dishes, especially ones that I know my kids like, I do a secret test.
