Low Carb Recipes for Dinner With Chicken are Popular for a Reason
One of those reasons is the super-easy rotisserie chicken. Of course, we’re going to break down the chicken but you can’t hate on a product that is walk-out ready. This chicken screams weeknight perfection.
Now, if you have the time you could always prepare your own chicken. I bet this recipe would be delicious with pulled chicken, pulled pork, grilled chicken, and definitely tofu and veggies.
We should always play with our food.
First, Let’s Discuss The Costco Chicken
This will be a quick discussion. If I’ve been to a Costco, it was forever ago. But, I’ve definitely never had the famous Costco Rotisserie Chicken.
Tell me, for real, why is it the best? Is it only because of the price tag? Does it taste any good?
Second, How Do You Feel About Skin?
I’ve never been a real fan of it. My family would steal pieces of crispy skin before the bird would even hit the Thanksgiving table. I wasn’t part of this group. I’d be searching for my favorite treat. Those ridiculously pillowy dinner rolls that demanded butter and gravy as a dip. That was my vibe.
I worked at a restaurant that served crispy salmon skin with hummus. People go bananas over pork rinds. I understand it, I just can’t do it. But if you like it, I bet keeping some skin in the mix would be delicious.
Low Carb Chicken Recipes
Generally speaking, you’ll use a little over half of the chicken. Certainly, the amount you’ll need will be based on the size of the peppers. But 2 cups is a good starting point. This will leave you a fair amount to enjoy in a different way I no doubt will use it for a picked jalapeno chicken salad later in the week. I like to add a lot of celery for crunch, too. What’s your move?
Now that you have the amount you’ll use, run your knife through the chicken a few times creating smaller pieces and placing them into a bowl when you’re happy with your knife skills. Mix in 1 cup of ricotta cheese and 1 cup of vodka sauce. Sample this mixture and season as you wish.
Next, cut the peppers. You can cut just the top and stuff the whole pepper, or, do what I did here and cut it in half. Then, scoop your chicken mixture into your peppers.
Finally, top with shredded mozzarella and bake them for 40 minutes.
