Frittata with chicken, corn, chipotle chili

Filed under: Health and Fitness, Recipe — Rick @ 5:31 pm

This is a new favorite – tasty, high in protein and fat, low in carbohydrates.

  • 2 Tbsp EVOO
  • 5-6 cloves garlic, microplaned or crushed
  • 2 Tbsp chipotle chile powder
  • one big onion,  chopped
  • 1 can corn
  • 1.5 lbs raw chicken breast, diced
  • 12 whole eggs
  • 1/3 cup coconut milk
  • 5 ounces Monterey Jack or Colby Jack, grated

Over medium heat in a large nonstick frying pan, saute the garlic and chili powder in the EVOO. I use some corn juice from the can for extra moisture. (more…)

Ingredients:

* 2 cloves garlic, crushed
* 1/2 teaspoon cumin (I used 1 tsp)
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
* 3 tablespoons sesame oil
* 2-3 tablespoons warm water
* Optional (but wow is it good) – 1/2 of a good sized roasted red bell pepper. (more…)
