Delicious chicken breasts smothered in fresh mozzarella cheese, chopped artichokes, tomatoes, fresh basil, and baked to perfection! I love Mediterranean style recipes this time of the year (Spring – Summer). And, as the temperatures get warmer outside, I always crave something that’s light and lean, yet delicious, flavorful, and satisfying. This Mediterranean style Tomato Basil Artichoke Chicken fits the bill! Perfect with a glass of wine!
The recipe couldn’t be easier to make. The prep takes only 15 minutes, and then you just bake the chicken for a total of 30 or 40 minutes.

TOMATO BASIL ARTICHOKE BAKED CHICKEN
They are naturally gluten-free, low-carb, keto, and paleo, whole30 & dairy-free without the cheese or sour cream. I find the outer leaves of Iceberg lettuce makes the best wraps, they are crisp and pliable and the leaves are large enough to make decent size wraps.

Skinny Bell Pepper Nacho Boats
I made these ones here in the pictures like a hawaiian pizza, but you could add whatever toppings you like. Some ideas include peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, pepperoni, cooked sausage, etc. It is fun to try out new flavors.
Ingredients :
- Regular muffin tin
- Thicker cut Canadian bacon- not the thin stuff (I get mine at Costco)
- Shredded Mozzarella cheese
- Pizza sauce (or I prefer spaghetti sauce)
- Pizza toppings of choice (I used pineapple, well drained)
****please note: you can modify this recipe to use a mini muffin tin if you would like, using only one slice of canadian bacon per cup and only a little of the toppings***

NO-CRUST PIZZA BITES: GLUTEN FREE, LOW CARB
For me, it’s the more simple recipes that hit home – like this loaded cauliflower mash. It’s the ultimate in comfort food. If you were one who enjoyed ordering loaded potato skins at Friday’s after work or preferred a loaded baked potato with your steak, this recipe will take you back to the days. At least, it did me!
And those who loved twice-baked potatoes need not mourn an old favorite because this healthy low carb cauliflower tastes so good, I could have called it twice baked cauliflower casserole!
THE TRICK TO GETTING A FLUFFY CAULIFLOWER MASH:
- steam instead of boil.
- let it sit uncovered to release some moisture
- drain well before putting it in the food processor
- add the ingredients that make it taste great – like sour cream, cheddar cheese, chives and bacon.
That’s it. Easy, cheesy and delicious!

Buffalo Keto Chicken Tenders
Ingredients
2 tablespoons salted butter
6 cloves garlic, finely diced
1 pound (500 g) shrimp (or prawns) -- tails on or off
1 small yellow onion, diced
½ cup white wine (OPTIONAL)
5 oz (150 g) jarred sun dried tomato strips in oil, drained
1¾ cups half and half (or milk -- reduced fat, skim or full fat milk)* *SEE NOTES
Salt and pepper, to taste
3 cups baby spinach leaves
⅔ cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese (do not include for dairy free option)
1 teaspoon cornstarch (cornflour) mixed with 1 tablespoons of water (optional)***
2 teaspoons dried Italian herbs
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Recipe Notes
Half and half is an American product, made from equal parts light cream and milk. Feel free to use half light cream and half 2% milk (or full fat if not worried about calories and fat counts), in place of half and half. Alternatively, use all light cream or heavy cream. Substitute half and half with almond milk.
If serving with pasta: add in pasta cooked al dente along with 1/4 cup of reserved pasta water into the pan of shrimp once they are cooked. Gently mix through the sauce until combined. Serve immediately.
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt the butter and add in the garlic and fry until fragrant (about one minute). Add in the shrimp and fry two minutes on each side, until just cooked through and pink. Transfer to a bowl; set aside.
- Fry the onion in the butter remaining in the skillet. Pour in the white wine (if using), and allow to reduce to half, while scraping any bits off of the bottom of the pan. Add the sun dried tomatoes and fry for 1-2 minutes to release their flavours.
