  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper — coarsely ground

Dressing Ingredients

Cut each halved chicken breast lengthwise into thirds. In a 10-inch skillet, melt the butter until it is sizzling. Add the chicken, garlic, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Cook over medium-high heat, turning once until chicken is browned and fork-tender (7-10 minutes).

Place the lettuce in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the lettuce and toss to coat. Place the coated lettuce on a platter or on individual salad plates. Place the tomato slices, sliced onions, and chicken on lettuce.

CarbSmart Podcast Episode 23: Refusing Holiday Food and Staying Low-Carb can be tough at first but you can do it to avoid the Food Pushers. The holidays are straight ahead, and with them piles and piles of carby junk, and worse, people nagging you to eat the stuff. Why so many people think that saying things like "But you have to eat it! It's traditional!" and "I worked all afternoon making it just for you" constitutes an expression of holiday goodwill, I have no idea, but sadly this behavior is all too common. You need to think ahead about how to respond to this sort of thing.
