Low Carbohydrate Recipe

When you are in the mood to go to a little extra trouble for dinner, this is a superb low-carb dish to serve up!

Chicken Ingredients:
Two whole chicken breasts -- boneless skinned, halved
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic -- minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper -- coarsely ground

Dressing Ingredients:
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese -- freshly grated
1/4 teaspoon pepper -- coarsely ground
2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Salad Ingredients:
2 cups Romaine lettuce -- torn
One medium tomato -- sliced
1/2 cup mushroom -- fresh, slices (optional)
1/4 cup onions -- sliced (optional)

Directions:
Cut each halved chicken breast lengthwise into thirds. In a 10-inch skillet, melt the butter until it is sizzling. Add the chicken, garlic, salt and 1/4-teaspoon of the pepper. Cook over medium high heat, turning once, until chicken is browned and fork tender (seven to ten minutes).

In a small bowl stir together all the dressing ingredients. Set aside. Place the lettuce in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the lettuce and toss to coat. Place the coated lettuce on a platter or on individual salad plates. Place the tomato slices, sliced onions, and chicken on lettuce.

Recipe makes four to six servings.
