I made good use of leftovers, for breakfast: chicken breast and cold cooked green beans. I let it all marinate a bit in some vinaigrette I made out of a little pesto, some white wine vinegar, and black pepper. Then I sprinkled on a few shreds of Parmigiano-Reggiano from Byerly’s. The beans were previously sautéed in a little butter and minced garlic. I enjoyed this cold with an egg muffin.

Not really built for my palate, but I get it and props to you for a fly freestyle.
So what’s up with keto? Is it like, forager food or something?
I love cold grilled chicken. ( I like it better cold than hot, I think).
Yummy.

It’s changing your body to burn fat instead of glucose. I usually eat bacon and eggs for breakfast, this is more like a lunch meal for me. Dinner is usually salad or soup or a few ounces of meat with a side of vegetables. I don’t eat sugar of any kind (that includes honey, starch/flour/grains such as from wheat, corn, or rice). It’s fixed my diabetes, high blood pressure, joint inflammation, edema, and a host of other problems. Weight loss is a bonus, as well. I stay well under 20 grams carbohydrate per day (subtracting dietary fiber). Still am a bit insulin-resistant some days, so I couple this with intermittent fasting and will do keto for life. Most days, my first meal is not until I’m hungry, which is about noon or so, and my last meal no later than 8 hours later. That’s intermittent fasting in a nutshell, good for healing/cell turnover, and increasing insulin sensitivity.
Yeah, that works! Probably more a lunch dish for me, but still. I’d eat it for breakfast if offered.
I usually eat breakfast food for my first meal. I LOVE breakfast. But these leftovers were going to waste soon, so I wanted to try out the idea that I had in my head, and it worked, so instead of saving it for later, I went ahead and gobbled it up!
I love to roast a chicken, but the leftovers can sometimes be iffy in the taste department, unless I use them for soup (simmering in broth seems the best way to rid chicken of any funky leftover chicken flavor). I’m going to also use the rest of the breast meat for topping a low carb pizza later.
Gabrielle M. me too! But grilled chicken has a bit of a smoked taste, which roasted doesn’t offer. So yeah, since cold grilled chicken never tastes funky to me, I love it on salad.
With leftover roasted breast meat, I sometimes make a chicken salad with some celery, onion, and mayo, and wrap it in lettuce leaves, or else make chicken taco soup, while I prefer thigh meat shredded, then either sauced with some barbecue, or fried up with some chili powder and salsa for taco filling.
