Atkins Diet Recipes: Low Carb Enchilada Chicken Paillard (IF)

[analda30]

yummy..can i do this dish on induction.

[bowulf]

@analda30 Yes, the (IF) stands for Induction Friendly. Thanks for watching!

[elainejazzpiano68]

yummers, that looks divine....and right out of a restaurant ;o)

[bowulf]

@elainejazzpiano68 Thanks... If you like this recipe, I think you will like the video that I am uploading right now too.

[GeicaLica]

Can u use fresh chili instead of canned sauce (I'm from New Mexico so we have red and green chili)

[bowulf]

@GeicaLica Yes. you can. I have even posted a low carb enchilada sauce recipe on my Spanish rice recipe.

[enduserzero]

Very impressed with your vid's, I'm trying the chicken sausage casserole tonight.

With regard to sauces, I wonder if canned enchilada sauce is Atkins compatible?

Keep on submitting the vid's, very interesting and nutritionally provacative.

[bowulf]

@enduserzero There are many canned sauces which would be fine for OWL phase like Old El Paso. I believe their green sauce would be Induction Friendly. I have also uploaded an acceptable sauce in my spanish rice video.

[MancJenster]

hello there, love your page. i live in the uk and the enchilada sauce contains milk powder, wheat flour and corn starch. can it still be used for atkins? cheers for any help :)

[bowulf]

@MancJenster Not for Induction even if it is relatively low carb, but for OWL, it would probably be OK. If you are looking for an Induction friendly sauce, chick out the low carb chicken enchilada recipe posted here, which features my sauce in it.

[MancJenster]

@bowulf thanks for the tip bowulf, i'm sorry i can't seem to find your enchilada sauce recipe, could you post me the link? thanks again, i guess the old el paso enchilada sauce here isn't the same as the one in the US lol :)

[0diamondangel0]

This looks so good! Similar to the way I make my cheesy chicken casserole - I'm definitely going to give this a go! My husband will love it! :) Keep up the good work!

[meighantosten]

i am so glad i have found your recipe videos!

[bowulf]

@meighantosten Glad I could help!

[Gabbygrl01]

I just made this tonight and both my husband and I loved it! My hubby isn't a big fan of chicken but loved the sauce so next time I'll make his with chops.

[bowulf]

@Gabbygrl01 That's the sign of a good recipe is that is versatile enough to meet different tastes. I am glad you and yours liked the recipe nevertheless. Thanks for the feedback.

[Karendrenning]

This is the comment my husband left on Facebook after eatting this::::

Nothing better than coming home after a 12hr workday to a lovely wife who prepared me a lavish chicken dinner. I feel like I am in Heaven on Earth!!

This Recipe is out of this world, this will be a recipe to keep.. Thanks Ken :)

[bowulf]

@Karendrenning What an awesome report. I am glad you and yours like this recipe so much.

[pinklulu22]

ahh duhhh!!! , lol I didnt saw the ones u had sorry .... thanx anyways jjee :)

[pinklulu22]

Do you have any recipes for breakfast? Cuz Im wondering what can i eat? Thanx

[Terrymora]

Thanks for sharing these great recipies.This looks great! Will make it tonght.

[bowulf]

@Terrymora Let me know how you like it... I am glad to share. My goal is to make others start of low carb or just simply eating healthier easier than mine. I struggled the first few weeks trying to find things I'd like to eat.

[Terrymora]

@bowulf Well, I made it today, and it is so good! My husband even liked it ( he is not low-carb) but, he said it is  a do-again meal! Thanks for the reipies and for inspiring me :)

[pinklulu22]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm !!!!! looks sooo delicious !!!!

[bowulf]

@pinklulu22 I agree completely...

[TheScoobyRS]

Nice counter tops. Is that the 180 fx laminate?

[mmfav]

Made it tonight and it was wonderful!

[bowulf]

@mmfav I am glad you liked it...

[askunique]

I love your vids and so HAPPY I ran into this one!! I love mexican food and was wondering how I could do enchildas. Keep the vid rolling plz. Thank you

[bowulf]

@askunique Check out the video called "Atkins Diet Recipes: Low Carb Enchiladas and Faux Spanish Rice (IF)." It talks about the options you have, and there are low carb wraps you can use if you are in a latter stage of the diet. I hope it helps...

[RoseEverBlooming]

You look great, God bless you. thanks for sharing your great recipes and inspiring story~

[bowulf]

@RoseEverBlooming I am always glad to share the recipes I develop. The real low carb genius are the ones making low carb baking recipes. Cooking recipes like mine are often more about conversion of high carb recipes or figuring out how to achieve the same flavors in a low carb method. Low carb baking is often more science than experimentation. :-)

[azgirl85379]

We've made this twice in one week, it's absolutely delicious!!

[bowulf]

@azgirl85379 I am glad you liked it. It is one of my favorite recipes too.

[rstein3131]

looks yummy!

[heart3817]

is it spicy?

[bowulf]

@heart3817 Depends on the heat level of the enchilada sauce... If you pick the mild enchilada sauce, it wouldn't be too hot.

[Sieberliebangbang]

Dude, you took out the chicken from the package, stamped it and put it straight in to the pan WITHOUT WASHING IT PROPERLY. DDAMNN MAN. CLEAN THE CHICKEN FILET BEFORE YOU PUT IT IN THE HOT PAN

[bowulf]

@Sieberliebangbang Ok the caps are a bit much. I think you can make your point WITHOUT ALL THE DRAMATICS. I know some people are paranoid about the germs or other material that may be on the chicken, and if I hard purchased Tyson chicken as opposed to from my local butcher, you might have a point. However after working in a kitchen and with other cooks for 20 years, you are in the minority, and I also doubt a quick dousing in water would have little affect to dirt and other particulate.

[Sieberliebangbang]

@bowulf So by saying you work for 20 years with other cooks you claim i am in the minority? Without knowing my experience? I can tell you havent learn anything in those 20 years mate. and BTW, YOU ALWAYS WASH YOUR VEGGIES AND MEAT. NO MATTER WHERE THEY COME FROM, sick people.

[bowulf]

@Sieberliebangbang It's apparent that angst runs long and deep. Have fun elsewhere,...

[ThePrettymeh]

just got done making this for dinner, thanks!

[bowulf]

@ThePrettymeh I am glad you liked it.

[LUCANDIS]

thanks for answering I am also staying in the IF as this works for me!

[LUCANDIS]

I am so glad to have found your vids... I am a diabetic whose numbers were 250-300 usually, after my first week of induction my glucose level is now 115-120.... and thats was only after 1wk.... and my BP is down also....... you have great recipes and easy to follow.... question... how long can one stay on induction phase of diet I haven't read that in the book.....

Candace

[bowulf]

@LUCANDIS I have a video called - how long to do Induction -- that attempts to answer this question. The short answer is that one can do extended Induction for a really long time. Some people can do it for years, while others should move on to OWL phase shortly after 14 days is up. It has to do with insulin resistance and happiness with the foods.

I personally did Induction for a year, and after that year had my blood work done. The only thing it suggested I should do is eat some nuts.

[Mermaidengirl]

u are awesome. i just made the chicken enchilada and it was fantastic!! i read some of the negative comments on some of your other videos from some idiot about how he doesn't want to hear about your diet and your marathon, u handled it very nicely and i am very glad that u talk bout those things it is very encouraging to me and i am sure to others that are trying to lose and the recipes are fantastic and really help me stay on low carb. i have lost 35 pounds so far and still on induction Thanks

[bowulf]

@Mermaidengirl The haters will always hate, but if I can educate a few semi-open minded ones or use their criticism as education for others, I am open to their essentially meaningless critiques. I will still continue to do low carb, still continue to prove them wrong by doing marathons, and still prove them wrong with my excellent continued health.

Congrats on your success! 35 pounds is a great start!

[ElaineEC]

This tastes AWESOME!! Even my friends who don't eat low-carb LOVE this.

[bowulf]

@ElaineEC Those are the reports I like to hear. :-)

[kamkambyaping]

Yummy :P

[angelaragon19]

i just began yesterday. I want to try it out. This looks very good. It be nice if you could breakdown the count on Carbs,protein, calories and so forth.

[bowulf]

@angelaragon19 All that information is in the video description, which may need to be expanded. Here is the information for this recipe:

Nutrition Info (Makes 2 or 4 Servings - info based on 4 servings)

357 Calories, 19.2g Fat, 6.3g Carbs (Minus 1.1g Fiber), 39g Protein

[angelaragon19]

@bowulf thank you so much.I was binging last night for cookies and milk. High addiction on both, big fan of oatmeal and nuts. Gonna have to look for many low carb cookie recipes. As for milk, will skim do. Im trying to get. Im trying to tone ab muscles.

[bowulf]

@angelaragon19 Remember skim is just as high in carbs as regular milk. If you think you need milk, unsweetened almond milk is the way to go or check out my "Missing Milk" video I have posted on Youtube.

I don't know of any Induction legal cookie recipes except for a flax one my wife made years ago. The cookie recipe I have posted here is not Induction legal.

[dingbatdinah]

oh my goodness this looks soooooo good!!! Just discovered you on here. I can't wait to try this recipe. I've GOT to get back to my LC lifestyle. I'll be catching more of your videos this weekend., but this recipe just might be dinner tonight! YUM!!! are your recipes listed somewhere?

[dingbatdinah]

oh my goodness this looks soooooo good!!! Just discovered you on here. I can't wait to try this recipe. I've GOT to get back to my LC lifestyle. I'll be catching more of your videos this weekend., but this recipe just might be dinner tonight! YUM!!!

[bowulf]

@dingbatdinah I hope you liked it. I actually like the cathartic pounding the chicken flat step. :-) This WOE has simply changed my life only for the better. I am glad I am could I help.

[tallbugs]

Hi Ken, I want to let you know how much your info means to me. I discovered you about 2 weeks ago and I have been spending alot of time watching and rewatching your videos. I am learning alot about low carbing and the proper way to do it. So much that I have learned from you that I cant mention it all here. I also want to say how much I like your recipes. I've made the Enchilada Chicken. It is so good!! I've never eaten enchiladas before.Thank you so much for all your videos! Rick

[bowulf]

@tallbugs Hey I am glad my videos and especially my recipes could help you so much. Now all you are doing is raising the bar in my head for all futures videos going forward to meet or exceed these. Talk about pressure... :-)

[Imogen1885]

I made this last night. It was so good.

[bowulf]

@Imogen1885 This is one of my favorites too!

[p00j2620]

This looks damn good! After I am done with my homework I think I am running up to the store to buy the ingredients lol

[Jodyfaye17]

This was sooo good! Thank you.

[bowulf]

@Jodyfaye17 I am glad you liked the recipe.

[Imogen1885]

That looks wonderful.

[yadidamean86]

Highly recommend!! Had it last night I felt guilty like I was cheating tha whole time! I'll never go back to regular enchiladas again! 8 thumbs up from everybody who had it!

[mstexaschic]

Cannot wait to try! Love the videos

[bowulf]

@mstexaschic I am pretty sure you'll like it. This is one of my favorite recipes. Thanks for watching!

[chelsieandcorybrown2]

Hey thanks for responding, we are looking for a Banana nut one something yummie to eat we just cant find one. Do you know of a good recipe if so i would love to have it thanks so much!

Chelsie and cory

[bowulf]

@chelsieandcorybrown2 Do a search for genaw and the following terms at Google:

CAROLYN'S PECAN PIE MUFFINS

APPLE-CINNAMON MUFFINS

CINNAMON-APPLE FLAX MUFFINS

They should be great and are highly rated by Linda.

[Msdetermined2suceed]

My mom told me to get on youtube on this recipe, She loves it and I do also! My soon to be husband also loves it very much! Thank you for posting this!! I ate this and stuck to my low carb diet i lost 4lbs from this and my diet, wish i could find a good muffin recipe now.

Thanks,

Chelsie and Cory

[bowulf]

@Msdetermined2suceed What sort of muffin recipe were you looking for? Sweet (like a banana nut) or savory (like egg sausage muffin)? I am glad you guys like this recipe. It's recipes like these that keep me inspired and out of rut. I am glad I could share them with others.

[resler101]

This tastes amazing! It is incredible that we can eat this and lose or maintain our weight. Great recipe Ken.

[bowulf]

@resler101 I am glad you liked it. I make this quite often and always love it when I do. Thanks for watching!

[livinglife63]

I tried this tonight. It was EXCELLENT!!!! Thanks for the videos - I love watching someone else make the recipe before I do it. This will go great with my Shirataki noodles.

[bowulf]

@livinglife63 That is the problem with cookbooks to me. They are typically dry or unannotated to how the recipe really turns out. All recipes read the same, and little insight to how you'll really like the recipe. That is one of the reasons I like Linda's Low Carb website and why I hope people like my recipe videos too.

[lilyflowertulip]

that looks soooo good! I've been craving some mexican food. I'm going to make that today. thanks, your videos really help to keep me interested and excited about living low carb.

[bowulf]

@lilyflowertulip Mexican is one of the easiest meals to make low carb as most of the key ingredients (tomatoes, onions, peppers, garlic, chili seasoning, Cumin) are all very Atkins friendly. I hope you like it!

[Lillzbe]

Awww that looks great



[bowulf]

@Lillzbe Thank you! The chicken after being smashed is really tender. It's very good, and the end product looks like you worked harder than you did on it. :-)

[saaanaz]

Wow! my comments sure did multiply. Sorry about that!! I was wondering if my comments were getting lost in cyber space when they didn't show up before. When they showed up, they poured.

[bowulf]

@saaanaz No problem - YT gets flakey sometimes.

[seh211]

This looks so goooood! Who would think you could lose weight eating like this? I will definitely try this! Love your videos!

[seh211]

It looks so gooooooood! Who would think you could lose weight eating such delicious food. I'm definitely gonna try this. Love your videos!. Keep up the great work!

[seh211]

It looks so gooooooood! Who would think you could lose weight eating such delicious food. I'm definitely gonna try this. Love your videos!.  Keep up the great work!

[bowulf]

@seh211 Thank you... I am always surprised at how great these foods taste and how disappointed I get when eating out. Thanks for the very nice comments.

[deesfeest]

I think your recipes are really tasty-looking and they seem easy. My mom is a diabetic and lots of people have suggested to her that she should try Atkins to lose weight, but she won't budge... Maybe with a recipe like this i can convince her :)

[wcwify]

Had this for dinner tonight......YUMMM! I liked it even better than the eggplant parm. Thanks again.

[bowulf]

@wcwify I am glad you liked it. It really is quite cathartic to make as well as you smack the chicken.

[wcwify]

@bowulf Haha! At first glance I thought it said "smack the children"...seemed pretty out of character for yoou! ; )

[wcwify]

@bowulf HAHA!!! At first glance, I thought it said "smack the children" - seemed pretty out of character for you. ; )

[bowulf]

@wcwify Some days however... :-D Yes, it would have been unusual. "Smacking the chicken" is much more cathartic and certainly less likely to induce visits from certain state offices like DHS.

[AdelitaDB]

I think I know what I am making for dinner tonight! :)

[bowulf]

@saaanaz I am glad you liked it. My wife says I spoil her "going out to eat" experience by making food like this at home.

[saaanaz]

@bowulf Lol! Your wife is a lucky woman! My son goes out to eat more often than I do. He told me that this tastes way better than the enchiladas he orders at the Mexican restaurant. We didn't miss the tortillas in this dish either. So good!! I owe that compliment to you :)

[saaanaz]

21 seconds ago

I prepared this recipe for dinner last night. It tasted delicious!!! I added extra cumin powder and chili pepper flakes to the chicken. My son mentioned that these enchiladas tasted better than the ones you get at the restaurant. Thanks for the awesome recipe!! Its a keeper.

[sarahbarah20]

shouldn't u be EATING at 8:02? It's kinda late to be eating. Just say'n

[bowulf]

@sarahbarah20 Actually if you are hungry you should eat.  Playing games like no eating after a certain time if your body says you are hungry will only lead to possibly short term success but likely ultimate failure.

The appetite suppression of Low Carb will prevent mindless grazing. After 211 pounds lost, I think I know the appropriate time to eat for me.

[iDrum841]

@bowulf tell her brotha!!! congrats on the weight loss too. your recipes rock.

[bowulf]

@iDrum841 After I posted that reply, I checked out her channel, and recognized she probably meant the best and wasn't sniping. She's actually going to be doing Atkins Diet videos too.

I am glad you like the recipes -- there should be another good lc pizza one when I get back from San Fran.

[iDrum841]

@bowulf yeahh i just hate it when other people criticize other people's instructional videos.

but yeah i love pizza cant wait to try it

[Lurking99]

Looks delish! THANK YOU.

[twissypooh]

you didnt indicate that you had oil in the pan for the oniions and peppers. did you?

[bowulf]

@twissypooh No. I mentioned it for the chicken but did not mention the TBS of coconut oil for the veggies.

[slsslskousen]

Glad to see low carb has not died with Dr. Atkins! I can't find low carb anywhere anymore. My favorite Herbalife Lemon Protein Bars were discontinued. Only bars without chocolate. Do you know of a good recipe equivalent? Thanks again for your site.

[bowulf]

@slsslskousen Sorry not much of protein bar fan, so I don't stay up on commercial products or recipes. I posted my only bar recipe here,but it has chocolate. You might try the low carb friends site.

[sleclerc1467]

Hi there I love your video's, where could I get your cookbooks?

[bowulf]

@sleclerc1467 Glad you like the videos; unfortunately, I don't have a cookbook. You can buy Jennifer's cookbooks here:

low-carb.us

[winter654123]

I cooked this a few days ago and I ordered her cookbooks. Thanks Kent

[bowulf]

@winter654123 You are very welcome, and much thanks for supporting Jennifer.

[mebeluvined]

3:37 that's what he said

[pvonelsner]

Can't get enough of this dish! Just some FYI on my recent (yesterday) blood tests after being on Atkins for 7weeks. Trig. 29 , down from 67, HDL 66, stayed the same, LDL 135 which is down from 185. The previous results were taken around Christmas last year. I was not low carbing back then. Started back on Atkins March 9th and lost 11 pounds. Maybe I have finally learned this has to be a lifestyle. Bought the new book last night. Keep us educated Kent.

[divatravelqueen]

This was to die for chicken!!! Good to the last bite! All of my co-workers thought that it looked delicious. It was!

[bowulf]

@divatravelqueen I am glad you liked it. With a name like paillard, I didn't think it would be "Kent-proof," but I was surprised. It also serves a great way to get out work frustration. :-D

[divatravelqueen]

@bowulf I did a paillard on the chicken that I did for your alfredo recipe last night. Again, delish!!! Thank you, thank you for your videos! They are so great and I SO appreciate them as a newbie low carber.

[203penguins]

The Enchilada Chicken looks GREAT! I have all the ingredients and am going to make it tonight. Seeing it made is always a big advantage over just reading a recipe. I can't seem to find the right link/button to click to print out the recipe -- it's probably right in front of my face. Help;-) Thanks for taking your time to share so much good info with us.

[203penguins]

@203penguins I found where you click the down arrow for more info and the recipe -- thanks!

[bowulf]

@203penguins That's the thing I don't like about the new Youtube layout -- it hides the information or video descriptions. I am glad you were able to find it.

[pvonelsner]

Excellent as always Kent. But get a nice SHARP Chinese Clever. Its the only knife you'll ever need.

[smly7898]

Looks yummy!!! Thank you

[keyahnee]

looked so good. did u eat a salad with it, or any thing else with it?

[bowulf]

@keyahnee I had had a salad earlier as a snack, but with the veggies in the casserole or dish, I wouldn't have needed it. I had 1.5 servings of the dish, and saved the rest to top a salad the next day.

[gemsa1987]

YUMMY!!!!! Thanks for your videos

[bowulf]

@gemsa1987 You are very welcome...

[jailstop]

@bowulf Kent I wanted to ask if you are knowledgeable about ketone test strips. I got some last night and according to the strip I am releasing moderate amounts of ketones (moderate is the 3rd level up on the chart it lists negative,small,moderate & large) now does this mean that every movement I make I am burning fat?

Any info you can share about the test strips would be wonderful. Also I have been trying hard to work out an hour everyday sometimes im just too sore and can only do 30min

[bowulf]

@jailstop Any registered amount on the ketone strips signifies fat burning and ketosis-lipolysis taking place. This can be dietary fat or storage fat, but it is a good thing. I do have a ketosis vs. ketoacidossis video that talks about the strips.

I tell most people take it easy the first 3-4 weeks with exercise, and do what you can. It takes awhile for the body to acclimate to burning fat for fuel to meet the demands of exercise.

[jailstop]

@bowulf Yeah I am getting close to being in my 2nd month on the diet whats really crazy is I started mine on the same day you started yours :) I find the treadmill to be the best for me when it comes to exercise plus its easier to call for help from home if something goes wrong. I used to hear runners talking about a runners high and I thought they were full of shit *lol but its true if you sweat for a long period of time you do get a very high peaceful feeling similar to college pot *lol!!

[jailstop]

@bowulf As far as ketosis vs. ketoacidossis I glad you made a video on that because many people I know mistake them for the same thing.

[Thickumz2002]

I also am goona put a lil jalapeno in it for an extra mexican kick!

[bowulf]

@Thickumz2002 I would have kicked mine up another notch with Cholupa or Haberno pepper sauce, but my wife likes it tamer....

[alkiller1992]

can i drink 7up sugar free?

my friend says i can i don't belive him lol

[bowulf]

@alkiller1992 Yes, with the caution that Sugar Free 7up has aspartame in it. Aspartame causes stalls in some people. Max 3 servings per day (total artificial sweeteners)

[alkiller1992]

@bowulf Even during induction?

BTW is beef jerky okay to eat? because i ate abit today and then i saw at the back that there is 5g sugar. i didn't know because i took the original beef jerky not the added flavors ones (didn't know there was sugar on the orignal ones)

[bowulf]

@alkiller1992 I would really suggest you watch the "Can I eat this video?" It really explains what you can eat and makes you self-sufficient in terms of what you can eat and teaches how to prevent making the same mistake on the beef jerky in the future.

[bowulf]

@ANGEE1126 It was very good and tasted as good as it looks. I tell you being able to cook good tasting low carb foods is so much easier than trying to add flavor back to low fat foods. I am glad you liked the recipe!

[Thickumz2002]

looks great! I have all the ingredients here so I'm gonna make it this week!

[bowulf]

@Thickumz2002 I hope you like it!

[banded2live]

This looks so good, I will be fixing it this week.

Thank you so much for the recipes it helps this low carb diet not get so boring.

Tina

[bowulf]

@banded2live I hear you there. Boredom is definitely a killer to most diets or ways of eating. Bringing in some ethnic foods or spice is sure to liven it back up. Using a commercial sauce makes me a bit uncomfortable, but it's relatively low carb and adds to the simplicity of the recipe.

[ArchieLovesMe]

Wow, this looks goooood. Will flattening the chicken breasts out make them more tender and not as dry? I made some boneless breasts in the oven last week, and they were so horribly dry. (It was a pizza chicken recipe from Linda's Low-carb website, it called for flattening them, but I cut that part out just to save time and mess.) Thanks! :)

[bowulf]

@ArchieLovesMe That is one of ideas behind smashing the chicken is that it makes them really tender (breaks the bonds of the muscle) and reduces the cooking time (which can also make them less dried out). With the chicken as flat as you smash it to be, it will only take a couple minutes on each side on a medium-high pan.

[SkeeterN]

@ArchieLovesMe, you cooked your chicken too long. That is what drys it out. Next time shorted the time and you will be happier

[jenslife1]

Looks pretty great

[bowulf]

@jenslife1 Thank you... It is hard to mess up these simple ingredients. I am semi-pleased to say I made this recipe up one Sunday afternoon with 5 hungry mouths wanting to be fed quick, and I had no idea what to make.

[urbanblushkitty]

looks lovely. What are the net carbs per serving please?

[bowulf]

@urbanblushkitty I should have that posted later today in the video description.

[maryposa1978]

Wow that looks really good! :D

[bowulf]

@maryposa1978 Thank you! My wife loved it.

[recess1987]

whats the fat content like in that? it looks really greasy?

[bowulf]

@recess1987 I should have that posted later today in the video description. Remember the fat content in a low carb diet should be high (typically 50-80% of the Calories) as you still need to fuel body processes with something.

[mlh418]

looks yummy

[bowulf]

@mlh418 Thank you!
