Pizza Chicken Skillet – Delicious and Low Carb!

by
Pizza Chicken Skillet

Yesterday was one of those days that I just could not decide what I wanted for dinner. I knew that I wanted something that was somewhat low-carb and light, but I had no idea what it was. There were some chicken breasts in the fridge that I needed to use, and so I started thinking. I absolutely love cooking in my cast iron skillet (if you don’t have one, you NEED one!), and I had some fresh mozzarella that I grabbed at the store as a complete impulse buy, so I decided to base a recipe on those three things, and this Pizza Chicken Skillet was born!

Last night was one of those nights when I just couldn’t think of anything to make for dinner. I didn’t have a lot of stuff on hand, and I was not about to head out to the store in the rain with four little ones. So, I opened up the fridge and started looking for inspiration. I had some rice leftover from dinner a couple nights before, and it hit me – chicken fried rice! This is a great recipe because leftover rice is really better than fresh (fresh will work too, though). It also uses a lot of stuff you may already have on hand.

During the week, my life is so crazy. Well, really it is crazy all of the time with four kids, but it is even crazier on weeknights. I am always on the lookout for a great slow cooker meal. I love being able to throw the ingredients in earlier in the day, and have a meal ready to go at dinner time. This slow cooker lemon cream chicken is just right for this time of year. The sauce is so flavorful and not too heavy. This could be great with a side salad or some veggies is you are being health conscious, or it would be amazing over a bed of rice or pasta as well.
