FYI, I thought that was another delicious and easy meal. The cauliflower mash was super hit. Did it exactly as instructed and found the lemon and zest really impacted it positively!! I had a couple of left over raw pork chops from Tuesday and decided to cook them in the process. Turned out also.
I agree with others re: the butter, but also regarding the olive oil. Do you use the 2 Tbsp to grease the baking pan, or to allow the salt, pepper, garlic and parsley to adhere to the chicken?
Maybe the olive oil is for the aoili ??- I thought olive oil is healthier when usedin salads and not heated...
Cindy, what's a pour that you put your chicken into ? Thanks
This example:
5*4 =20 kcal from Carbs
25/3*20 = 167 kcal from Protein
72/3*20 = 480 kcal from Fat
Total : 667 kcal/serving :)
In this recipe, what is the butter for? And 4 tablespoons??? That's half a stick!

i am not keen on the Parmesan cheese, for the cauliflower mash, is there an alternative cheese to use instead
I haven't made it yet, I'm a Very Newcomer! Thinking about tonight, my sister (whose had much success) introduced me to this diet. So hopefully I'll be shopping/cooking from it starting today!
If you're still out there, wish me luck!!!
We don't promote calorie counting so we don't have that info. But you can see the macro nutrients. It's actually possible to calculate the calories from that info but it's a bit complicated.

if I skip my breakfast and if my lunch was only 5g carbs,may I for dinner at 6:45 pm eat double portion of Garlic Chicken (1 portion is 5g carbs) and finish my whole day with total 15g of carbs ?

It depends on how big your drumsticks are. The 2lbs of chicken in the recipe is designed to make 4 servings.
I'm sure it is fine to use a garlic crusher aswell.
You can omit it or use any herb you prefer.
Yes, you can add a vegetable side with our main dishes. Just keep an eye on carb count for both dishes.
