Yummy Low(er)-Carb Dinner

I love chicken chunks. Love them a lot. And my hubby really loves chicken nuggets and fried chicken too. So earlier this week I experimented. I used my Bob's Red Mill baking mix as a breading for chicken and it was delicious!!

Ingredients

2	c Bob's Red Mill Low-Carb Baking Mix
1/2	c panko bread crumbs
2	chicken breasts, cut into 1" chunks
2	t onion powder
2	t garlic powder
1	t chipotle powder
1	t curry powder
1	egg
1/4	c cream
1/2	c water

Directions

1. whisk together egg, water and cream in one bowl
   
   
2. in another bowl, mix all of the dry ingredients for dredging
   
   
3. heat about 3 inches of oil to 350 degrees in dutch oven (I used a candy thermometer to keep temp constant)
   
   
4. soak some chicken in the egg mixture, then dredge in breading mixture and fry a few at a time. Transfer to newspaper to drain excess oil off.
   
   
5. Chicken pieces are done when they are nice and golden brown on the outside, just 3-4 minutes is all it takes.

These were very yummy! I will definitely be making them again. I served them with butternut squash french fries baked in the oven. Delicious! The chunks run about 10 carbs/serving (approximately) and I don't think Hubby even realized they were low-carb. The baking mix gave the breading a really great texture because not only does it contain different flours, but also oat bran and flax seed meal. (BRM mix contains: Vital Wheat Gluten, Whole Grain Oat Flour, Oat Bran, Oat Fiber, Flaxseed Meal, Whole Grain Rye Flour, Wheat Bran, Whole Grain Soy Flour, Sea Salt, Evaporated Cane Juice)
