Atkins Diet Recipes: Low Carb Jamaican Jerk Chicken (IF)

In partnership with FaveHealthyRecipes, I wanted to post one of the recipes I was inspired to make on my low carb cruise two weeks ago. On the Low Carb Cruise 2012, we spent 7 days at sea and at the following ports (Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel). Between the food on the cruise ship, the food in the port, and suggestions from other notable low carb cooks on the boat -- particularly from Sweden home of LCHF movement, there was no shortage of inspiration. This recipe is a great way to get the flavors of the Caribbean wherever you happen to be.

For even more healthy low carb entree recipes, FaveHealthyRecipes has a number of low carb ethnic recipes and would be perfect for any phase of Atkins or low carb diet. ( http://www.favehealthyrecipes.com/chi... )

Oh I'm so jealous Kent! Wish my husband and I could have gone too. You and your beautiful wife look like you had a fantastic time on the cruise, and your karaoke singing cracked me up! I don't think I'd have the guts to try it (without a few cocktails that is!) The jerk chicken looks super tasty. I've been grilling every night this week as it's been gorgeous weather here in Georgia. I'll definitely try this over the next few days. Thank you.

We really did have a great time, and can't wait to go on another one. We might forego Christmas presents this year for our kids, and take them all on a cruise instead. As for the karaoke, it's all in fun and to not oneself too seriously. I swear all I was on that night was Diet Coke. :-)

Well listen to you brag! LOL

Thank you so much for all you do! Your videos are priceless to me... Love the recipes! In fact, I've mentioned you and this channel numerous times in my videos!

Again, THANK you!

[bowulf]

I am glad you like them and can tolerate my little travelogue for my cruise. (It was my wife's and my first one, so I was pretty excited about the whole thing.) Thanks for mentioning me, and if you ever have any recipe requests, please let me know. I am happy to serve...

Hey Kent, just want to say how much I appreciate your videos. I'm preparing to go low carb and your vids are a big part of my research. It is great also to see that you keep posting so many years into your success and that you still post for the people on induction tho it's prolly been ages since you were in that phase. Eager to get this going after I move house and get my own kitchen! God bless!

[bowulf]

Thank you for your very kind words. I do have a heart for those just starting the diet and in Induction. I remember how frustrated I was when I first started, and I just want to help others not face the difficulty or frustration (anger) in looking into your fridge and not knowing what to eat. I am hoping by showing them options, they won't get bored and ultimately hop off seeking for something tasty but not good for them or their weight loss due to feeling in a rut.

I love Jerk Chicken.

You may want to use tamari instead of soy sauce. Less carbs and gluten free.

I learned a lot from this cruise even after 8 years of being on the diet. Not all the speakers were strict low carbers but primal and paleo too, and had something for everyone. I got to meet people who I had only followed online, and they were often just as cool in person as they were online.
