Rainy weather has me pulling out one of my containers of chili from the freezer --- nice and warm inside now. Will have a few raw veggies with ranch dip in a bit to get some more veggies in today.

You are welcome, Monterey Chicken is a favorite. This is what we're having tonight.

Mediterranean Crusted Chicken

1 egg
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup Chefs blend flour or Atkins bake mix
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
2 pounds skinless chicken thighs
1/2 cup olive oil

1 Preheat oven to 400°

2 In a medium bowl, combine the egg and heavy cream and beat together well. In a separate medium bowl, combine the “flours”, cheese, basil, garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste.

3 Rinse chicken and pat dry. Dip each piece into the egg wash and then dredge liberally in the “flour” mixture. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Fry the chicken in the oil for 3 minutes per side, or until both sides are golden brown and crusty. Place chicken in a 9x13 baking pan and cover with foil.

4 Bake, covered, at 400° for 10 minutes, then remove foil and bake, uncovered, for 10 to 15 more minutes, or until chicken juices run clear.

It all sounds good, but I am going to a firend's house. We are having corned beef, cabbage and some kind of LC dessert.

OH MY GOSH, put the chicken back in the freezer, I forgot it was St.Patrick's day!

It'll be corned beef and cabbage here tonight as well.

Wednesdays are "work late day" for me, which also means it's "go out to dinner day" too!

I intend to have a Stoli Raspberry on the rocks, a nice dinner salad with feta cheese and vinaigrette, seared rare ahi tuna with lightly steamed asparagus spears, and a decaf coffee with cream for dessert.

AND I CAN'T WAIT!!

My Dad is cooking corned beef for us on Saturday so we will have a slightly belated St. Paddy's Day celebration.

I have a turkey I bought on sale in the oven right now. We will have it with a big mixed greens salad, baked green beans with garlic butter and caulimash.

I broke down and bought the Atkins corn bread mix, but I have never tasted it, so I'm not sure if I will make that for DH or not. I don't like corn bread all that much, but DH LOVES it. It it the one thing he really misses about low carb. I bought it as a suprise.
Has anyone tried it? Is is good?

Jen, I thought the cornbread was very good, albeit a little "pricey" carbs-wise - we have been using the CarbSense mix instead, it's much lower in carbs. Both are good though!

We're having leftover turkey breast, a big green "kitchen sink" salad (what I call a salad with everything BUT the kitchen sink thrown in!) and probably some cauliflower with cheese sauce, if it's not too hot to make it!
