2 TBS butter
1/4 cup natural chunky peanut butter
1/4 cup Splenda

1/4 cup Salted nuts (optional)

These wings are some of the best reasons to go on the Atkins Diet. They are completely legal for all phases of the diet and absolutely delicious. The Diet Coke is a unique ingredient, but it really does the trick. I think by adding the wings to the simmering sauce, the collagen helps thicken the sauce as well.

Ingredients
3 pounds chicken wings, separated at joints, tips discarded
1 cup Louisiana-style hot sauce (Franks Hot Sauce recommended)

1 can Diet Coke with Splenda
1 tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 tsp ground black pepper, or to taste
1/2 tsp Thyme
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 TBS Dried Chopped Onions

Instructions:
* Cut the wings into pieces.
* Mix other ingredients into large pot and start simmering.
* Add wings to pot to give flavor
* Heat Oil to 350-375F degrees
* Add wings to fryer and cook until done (12-14 minutes)
* Add wings back to Buffalo sauce and coat thoroughly

In this video, I demonstrate that good Italian is indeed possible on Atkins or a low carb diet. The unique ingredient in this Low Carb Chicken Broccoli Alfredo is the cream cheese in the sauce. As I mentioned in the video, there are lots of different options for to place the sauce on — Spaghetti Squash (demonstrated in the video), Dreamfield Pasta, or one of my favorite, Riced Cauliflower.

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

* 1/2 cup butter
* 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (low fat acceptable)
* 1 teaspoons garlic powder
* 1 clove garlic
* 1 cup heavy cream
* 1/2 cup water
* 1/2 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
* 3 ounces shredded Parmesan cheese
* 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS
1. Quarter the Spaghetti Squash, and place in pot to cook for 20 minutes.
2. Fry chicken breast in olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning
3. Melt butter in a medium, non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Add cream cheese and garlic powder, stirring with wire whisk until smooth. Add water. Add cream, a little at a time, whisking to smooth out lumps. Stir in Parmesan and pepper. Remove from heat when sauce reaches desired consistency. Sauce will thicken rapidly, thin with additional cream if cooked too long.
4. Cook Broccoli.
5. Cut up chicken breasts and combine with broccoli and alfredo sauce.
Serves 8+ people.
