Low Carb Creamy Balsamic Chicken With Sundried Tomatoes
I love the flavor contrasts in this dish. The sauce is very creamy, but the sun-dried tomatoes give a tart bite! The basil gives such a fresh note and the mushrooms are so meaty in flavor! Not to mention the smoked paprika ties the dish all together with a nice smoky note. This will easily become a go-to dish...it is made in one pan!

In a heavy bottomed pan, heat pan until very hot, then add half of the avocado oil. Add the chicken and sear on each side. This should be about 4-5 minutes on the first side and 2-3 minutes on the second side. Cook the chicken completely through. Remove chicken to a clean plate.Step 4

Really good

Halved this for a quick lunch as I had mushrooms to use up, but not enough for a whole recipe. Very tasty, but I I found the vinegar taste a bit strong. As others said I used cream. I make a very similar recipe and the one time I used half and half the Parmesan would not melt properly. I think it needs the extra fat. I think it will be perfect for meal prep with mashed cauliflower and maybe some spinach. I will definitely make it again!

We liked this recipe a lot. Next time we will put the sun-dried tomatoes and spices in the food processor with some evoo and then marinate the chicken. We will also probably double the half and half and parm for additional sauce. We ate with noodles and served it to our kids with pasta.

Followed this recipe exactly tonight (except used heavy cream) and LOVED it. I used the full 8 oz. package of baby Bella mushrooms. This will go in the regular rotation for sure. Next time, I’ll serve with mashed cauliflower so none of that yummy sauce goes to waste.

Has anyone subbed in a non dairy milk?

I haven’t but I’ve used full fat coconut milk in a similar recipe, and it worked great because it’s rich. I bet it would work well here.

This dish was perfectly delicious. I modified due to what I had on hand and used zucchini instead of Sundried tomatoes, also used heavy whipping cream. I had chicken in the freezer but it was in strips so I pounded it more flat and seasoned according to the recipe. My husband was impressed, i will definitely make this again, just loved the cream and cheese with the balsamic vinegar mxed together was so good.

Very flavorful. Easy to make. I did use heavy cream in place of half and half, the result was a richer taste.

Loved it! Cream (used heavy cream on hand) really does a great job cutting the balsamic tart. The combo was perfect. Even my picky husband liked it. I don’t like mushrooms and used Swiss chard I had on hand instead. My husband’s suggestion was to use spaghetti squash next time as a side. Will make again! It reminded me of Carrabbas balsamic chicken dish.

This was delicious! I skipped balsamico, since I dont like it, multiplied everything to make a full pot (2kg of chicken). I served it on protein low carb black pasta. Perfection!

I think it's black bean spaghetti/pasta
BlithesomeKetone997105 5 months ago
What is the name of the pasta?

How can I reduce the total carbs in this recipe? I guess I’m not sure where the carbs come from, tomatoes mushrooms and half/half?
pamelita 2 months ago
Using heavy cream instead of half and half would reduce carbs a little. Most of the carbs come from the balsamic, mushrooms, and sun dried tomatoes, so maybe reduce or remove the mushrooms or tomatoes as well.

Balsamic vinegar has the carbs

Easy recipe. The flavor was decent, but the combined texture of chicken/dried tomatoes/mushrooms was not a favorite

What is half and half
Pay the piper 2 months ago
In Canada it’s called 10% cream . So supposedly half cream half milk, or 10% milk fat. We get 10% , 18% is used for coffee, and 35% which we call whipping cream.

A dairy product with 1/2 milk and 1/2 cream. You find it in the milk section of your grocery store.

Type of milk- half cream half milk. Not quite as thick as cream
