This meal was completed in 25 minutes.  My husband raved about how good it was.  Give it a try.

 Chicken Scampi

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/4 cup butter

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch pieces

Cauliflower Potatoes

1 bag of frozen cauliflower in a steaming bag

4 tablespoons of Dixie Carb Counters Instant Mashers (I ordered these from http://www.netrition.com)

2 tablespoons of butter

Heavy cream to taste

Salt and Pepper to taste

Top with Fresh Chives

Steam cauliflower until very tender, set aside. In mixing bowl, add Instant Mashers, butter, and cream. Microwave for 1 minute or until butter is melted. Stir well. Add cauliflower and mash with a potato masher until desired consistency.

Serve Chicken Scampi over Cauliflower Potatoes. Top with fresh chives.

To complete your meal add your favorite toss salad and your dinner is complete.

To be honest, I have heard about doing cauliflower like this for months.  I just couldn’t bring myself to try it, because it really didn’t sound good to me.  January 2, 2008, I started back on my low carb diet.  I needed something to serve my Chicken Scampi with and thought about trying the cauliflower potatoes since pasta and rice are not on the diet plan at this time.  I’m so surprised they tasted really good!  No, they don’t taste like mashed potatoes, however, it will be served again at my table.  I encourage you to try it.

Blessings,
