Default Favorite low carb recipes

OK, I'll play - I make this for breakfast two or three times a week -

2 oz boned chicken breast, trimmedinto bite size pieces
1/4 each diced onion, and sliced bell peppers of at least 2 colors (ie some
green & some red; or some yellow and some green, or whatever you've got)
1/2 T olive oil
1/4 tsp garlic salt
3 T salsa
3 T shredded Colby-Jack cheese

Heat the oil in a small skillet, and over medium heat, stir fry the onions
and peppers for a few minutes, until the onion become translucent. Add the
chicken and season with garlic salt. continue to stir fry until the chicken
pieces are no longer pink - 3-4 minutes in all. Add the salsa and stir fry
to heat through. Lower the heat and sprinkle the cheese over the mixture.
Cover the pan and hold on low heat for another minute or two until the
cheese is melted.

Serves one

If you wish - serve with tortillas or with rice. This can be expanded to
make a family meal, with tortillas and/or rice available for those who are
not watching carbs. And it also makes a tasty lunch and/or light supper.

My market offers chicken breast already boned and sliced and I usually buy
that - you can do that part yourself, of course. I like a "southwestern"
salsa which has a few beans and corn kernels in among the diced tomatoes and
peppers - choose the salsa you like best, they all taste good!
