Welcome back everyone. Today we are
0:03
focusing on a high protein, lowcarb dish
0:07
that y'all have requested. So I've got a
0:10
good one for you guys. It's a Swiss
0:12
chicken skillet. It's going to be very
0:15
delicious. We got lots of flavors over
0:17
here going on. So we're going to go
0:19
ahead and get started getting our
0:21
chicken ready. This is a really fast put
0:23
together meal. Now, we are going to
0:26
combine
0:28
tender chicken with a creamy sauce,
0:31
melty cheese, and a golden crunchy
0:35
topping. So, we're going to start with
0:37
the chicken first. I've got two large
0:40
chicken breasts. We're going to cut
0:41
these down to size, which are bite-sized
0:44
pieces. So, I'm just going to first take
0:47
off some of the little pieces that we
0:50
don't want.
0:54
That looks good. Then what we're going
0:56
to do, cut these into strips. And then
1:00
we'll cut the strips into bite-sized
1:03
pieces.
1:05
We got lots of flavor going on. If
1:07
you're looking for a low carb dish, this
1:09
is it. You can pair it with delicious
1:12
vegetables if you want. You can put this
1:15
dish over your favorite pasta, rice, or
1:20
maybe mashed potatoes, or a side salad.
1:25
And if you want more low carb, high
1:27
protein dishes, let us know. We're on
1:30
board with it.
1:32
All right, I'm going to turn my chicken
1:34
around
1:35
and then we're just going to cut it.
1:38
I think these are about one inch pieces.
1:42
They're going to cook pretty fast.
1:46
Once we get this all cut up, we're going
1:48
to give it some great flavor with our
1:51
seasonings.
1:53
All right, there we go. Let's get the
1:56
seasonings out.
1:58
Garlic powder, y'all. Just sprinkle it
2:01
on.
2:03
Give it some flavor.
2:06
About half a teaspoon.
2:10
some onion powder. I'm not chopping up
2:12
an onion today.
2:15
You can if you want. Cook it in with the
2:18
chicken.
2:22
And we've got some black pepper.
2:30
And one of my favorite seasonings that I
2:32
love, smoked paprika. Gives it a color.
2:36
Gives it a nice smokiness flavor.
2:40
Get it on there.
2:43
Now,
2:45
I'm going to add some salt, but we're
2:47
going to keep it very minimal.
2:50
Just a little pinch. That's it.
2:54
Probably an eighth of a teaspoon or a
2:57
pinch.
3:00
We're going to get the chicken all
3:02
coated with the seasonings on all sides.
3:05
Then, we're going to get our pan ready.
3:10
Got my burner on a mediumigh heat. Going
3:13
to place my large skillet on it. We're
3:15
going to place about one tablespoon of
3:17
cooking oil.
3:19
I have avocado oil or you can use olive
3:22
oil. Here we go.
3:25
All right. Check for your oil. Make sure
3:27
it starts shimmering before we add the
3:29
chicken so we can get a nice sear on it.
3:33
Lock in that flavor.
3:36
Let's see here.
3:40
That's what you want to hear. We want to
3:41
put the chicken in one layer.
3:48
There we go.
3:50
All right. I'm going to flatten it down.
3:54
We're going to let it sit here for 3 to
3:56
four minutes. Get it a nice color on the
3:59
bottom side of the chicken there. Get it
4:02
cooked through just a little bit. And
4:05
then we'll start moving it around.
4:08
All right, we're gonna start flipping
4:09
the chicken.
4:14
Look at the color of that chicken. Look
4:16
at that. Yes.
4:21
Should take another 3 to four minutes to
4:23
fully cook the chicken. You want to make
4:25
sure it's fully cooked. So, if it takes
4:28
a little bit longer, maybe you cut your
4:29
chicken in big pieces, that's totally
4:32
fine. All right, let's give it another 3
4:34
to four minutes and then we'll be back
4:36
and if we need to move it around, we
4:38
will. And we'll check the chicken for
4:40
dness. All right, now what you want to
4:42
do is make sure you check for dness. So
4:44
find the biggest piece of chicken.
4:47
We're going to place it on a plate. I'm
4:50
just going to cut it in half. Make sure
4:52
your chicken is white cooked all the way
4:55
through, which it is.
4:59
We're going to make a delicious creamy
5:01
sauce. We're going to make it inside
5:03
with the chicken in our pot here. You're
5:06
going to need 8 oz of cream cheese. Now,
5:10
I brought this to room temperature so
5:11
it'll melt a little faster. Just going
5:14
to open up the thing and just put it all
5:16
in there.
5:20
And then
5:22
we're going to add one cup of chicken
5:24
broth.
5:32
All right. Now, we're just going to mix
5:33
this together. Get that cream cheese
5:36
mixed into the chicken. This is not the
5:38
only cheese in the dish, you guys.
5:42
Here's the other cheese. We're going to
5:44
be putting Swiss cheese slices all on
5:47
top. Now, this is where you can add
5:51
different types of cheeses if you want.
5:53
You can do mozzarella cheese. You can do
5:56
a cheddar cheese if you want.
6:00
So, I'm just going to like start right
6:01
here and just work my way around.
6:07
We're looking at about six slices
6:14
and then one in the middle. All right,
6:16
we're going to let that melt while we're
6:18
making the topping.
6:20
We're going to start with 1/4 cup of
6:23
butter just in a small skillet here.
6:26
We're going to like let that melt.
6:28
Get a nice sizzle going on. Now, while
6:31
the butter is melting, let's talk about
6:33
the topping. Now, I'm going to start off
6:36
with some pork rind. Now, you don't have
6:40
to do pork rind if you don't want to.
6:42
You can certainly do like Ritz crackers
6:45
or you can do panko crumbs or anything
6:49
like that. So, we're going to break
6:51
these up, kind of crush them up, and
6:53
then we'll add them to our butter.
6:56
Two cups. Now, when your cheese is
6:58
melted, go ahead and turn off the heat,
6:59
and we'll let this thicken up a little
7:01
bit. We're going to add our two cups.
7:03
Now, if you don't crush them too much,
7:05
that's fine. It's going to soak up all
7:06
that butter. While we're doing that,
7:09
we're going to add in one cup of
7:11
shredded Parmesan cheese. Got to have
7:14
that flavor in here.
7:17
All
7:19
right, we're going to stir to combine
7:23
and then just kind of pan fry it a
7:24
little bit. Oh, that smells delicious.
7:28
If you've never had a pork rind topping,
7:31
y'all give it a try. Got some nice
7:34
cheese going on. Pork rind are carbless.
7:39
Nothing in there.
7:41
I'm just going to press it down. Get it
7:44
all together. And then we're going to
7:45
slide this right on top of our skillet.
7:50
That melty cheese in there. Turn off the
7:52
heat.
7:55
Right across the top. Woo! Look at that.
7:58
Perfect. All right, we're going to give
7:59
it a pop of color with some dried
8:01
parsley. You can do fresh parsley if you
8:04
want. Some green onions. Boom. So, what
8:07
do y'all think of my Swiss cheese
8:09
chicken? Look at that topping right
8:11
there.
8:13
low carb, high protein dinner. Serve it
8:16
up with your favorite pasta, rice, or
8:20
even mashed potatoes. I'm going to give
8:22
it a try for you.
8:26
Got my fork. Let's give it a try.
8:30
Oh, look at that cheese.
8:33
There we go.
8:42
Y'all,
8:46
make sure you season that chicken up
8:48
because it is like the main component of
8:50
this dish. You got that creamy sauce,
8:52
that delicious topping.
8:55
Wow, that's good. What are you serving
8:58
yours over,
9:01
y'all? Go get the pasta.
9:03
