Low Carb Market Chicken Skillet
Quick and easy Low Carb Market Chicken Skillet, a healthy dinner you can make in minutes!
Happy New Year!!
2017 is going to be a fabulousĀ year… I can just feel it.
As promised, while I was throwing holiday cookie recipes at you left and right,Ā this JanuaryĀ I have lots of light low carb dinners to share with you.
Now is the time for us to clean up our act and our eating habits.
I have a few unwanted holiday pounds to shed over the next couple months and was hoping you would take the journey with me.
Will you? Pretty please?
I know we can do this! And we can even enjoy our meals while we do it.
The worst thing in the whole wide world is to make a commitment to eat healthy, then find yourself chewing on celery sticks for days on end, because we don’t know what else to make and eat.
Let’s be honest… The celery stick chewing lasts for about 15 minutes before we starting rummaging through the pantry for a that last box of crackers we forgot to throw out.
No more.
For the next few weeks we’ll be sharing tons of delicious gluten free, low fat, low carb and even paleo recipes that your family will love.
Even our Super Bowl snacks will be lightened-up this year. Go team!
Today we’re starting with a bold colorful dinner idea I call myĀ Low Carb Market Chicken Skillet. It’s a low fat, low carb, veggie-heavy dish that takes only minutes to make.
I seared small chicken pieces in a large skillet along with fennel, bell pepper, zucchini, kale, tomatoes, and corn. Then seasoned it with garlic, herbs, and golden balsamic vinegar.
The zesty garlic and herbs, andĀ bit of tang from the vinegar, helps showcase the fresh produce and enhance its appeal.
You can easily remove the corn from thisĀ Low Carb Market Chicken Skillet recipe to make it a paleo recipe. You can also substitute any vegetable you like!
Just make sure to lightly cook all the veggies, so they are crisp and sweet, not overcookedĀ and mushy.
Low Carb Market Chicken Skillet is a great way to kick off a year of good choices in 2017!

Low Carb Market Chicken Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 bulb fennel (small), cored and sliced thin
- 1 orange bell pepper, seeded and sliced
- 2 zucchini, halved and sliced
- 3 cups chopped fresh kale
- 1 pint fresh grape or cherry tomatoes

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey

- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Heat a large deep nonstick or cast iron skillet to medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. *The oil is only necessary if your skilletĀ is nonstick.
- Sear the fennel and bell pepper until char marks form on the sides and the fennel softens. Remove and set aside.
- Next sear the zucchini until just browned on both sides. Remove and set aside.
- Meanwhile chop the chicken into bite-size pieces and set aside. Toss the chicken pieces with dried Italian Seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. Add the remaining oil to the skillet and sear the chicken, stirring to brown for 2 minutes. Then add the garlic, chopped kale and tomatoes. Sear another 2 minutes, stirring regularly.

I made this last night and it is delicious!! I omitted the orange pepper, because it doesn’t agree with me but added carrot. Ā And I only used 1/2 the Italian seasoning, but added a bunch of fresh basil at the end. Any combination of vegetables will work. This is going to be one of my go to favorites!

Yummmmmy! I can’t wait to try this skillet! I love ‘one pan wonders’ — and a low carb one, too! I started the Alternate Day Fasting “diet” this week — and on my ‘feast’ days, I’m eating low carb. You’re line up is making this seem MUCH easier! Thanks, Sommer!
Wow this looks great! So colorful. I am going to make this recipe this week. Thanks
Oh man! This skillet looks incredible! I have everything I need for this!Ā
