Low Carbing for One

I have many people tell me that they have a problem eating healthy or losing weight because they HATE cooking for one person.

When you go from feeding a family of 4 or more depending on which kids friends are staying for dinner and then just cooking for 2 or maybe even just 1.  It can get a little frustrating and it's just easier to pop a frozen dinner in the microwave instead of cooking and messing up the kitchen with dirty dishes.

I know, because I used to say the same thing.  I get tired of just having a salad for lunch so I started creating my own single serving meals.

I'll buy larger quantities of meat at the grocery store and then freeze them into single serving portions. This is what I came up with for my lunch today.  It was very delicious, but something David wouldn't eat because he doesn't like anything "white".

Easy Chicken Alfredo

Serves 1:  Calories 187 Carbs 10

Ingredients:
3-4 oz Tyson boneless skinless chicken breast strips (they are very thin)
1/2 c Classic Alfredo Sauce
1/8 c sliced mushroom
2-3 leaves of fresh basil cut into julienne strips
Italian seasoning - I'm not very good at measuring spices, so it's just a few dashes
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 head of small cauliflower

Directions;
Steam the cauliflower
While the cauliflower is steaming, get you skillet hot and spray it with a little Pam spray.  Place your chicken strips in the pan and season them with the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.  Once the chicken is no longer pink, throw in the mushrooms and basil and cook until basil is wilted and mushrooms are hot.
Heat the alfredo sauce in the microwave.

Assemble:
Drain the cauliflower and cut it into bite size pieces, place in a bowl or on a plate.  Lay the chicken, mushrooms and basil over the cauliflower and top with alfredo sauce.  I had a few mushroom stragglers still in the pan, so I used them as garnish.

Delicious!
