Dijon Chicken - another low carb meal idea

Another low carb dinner - suitable for induction period of Atkins or the first two weeks of South Beach or anytime you want to reduce carbohydrates!

Dijon Chicken
One of my personal favorites and super simple and rather fast.

4 Chicken breasts, cut in half lengthwise and opened up to cook quickly
8 slices of Canadian bacon or ham
4 slices of the cheese of your choice (I like Swiss best but my kids eat American better. It works w/ cheddar too!)

Dijon butter sauce
3/4 cup of light (or regular) butter
1-2 tbsp of dijon mustard (to taste - I use 2 because I like it stronger)

Spray a broiler pan with cooking spray.  Salt and pepper your chicken lightly and put on the broiler pan under the broiler for approximately 5-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through.

While the chicken is cooking, melt butter in a small saucepan.  Once butter is completely melted, mix in the dijon mustard to taste.

When the chicken looks like it's cooked through, add the two slices of canadian bacon or ham and top with a slice of cheese.  Broil for an additional 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted.  Remove from heat.

Serve with dijon butter sauce! Yum.  Approximately 3 net carbs per serving.  Serve with other low carb veggies such as cauliflower, some asparagus, a little broccoli or as much salad (lettuce and cucumbers and celery) as you like. Watch your dressings! Some dressings with low carbs are caesar, oil and vinegar, blue cheese and certain brands of ranch.
