  3. Add chicken breasts to the casserole dish. Note about chicken: use 4 thin chicken breasts, or use 2 large thick chicken breasts, sliced in half horizontally each to make 4 thin chicken breasts.
  4. Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  5. Top with cream cheese. Cream cheese should be cold, right out of the fridge, sliced into 8 thin slices.
  6. Top with chopped cooked bacon (drained from fat).

  8. Bake, uncovered, for about 20-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of your chicken breasts.

Chili 🌶

Ingredients:
  • 1 lb ground bison (or beef)
  • 1/2 lb ground breakfast sausage
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 6 oz tomato paste 
  • 1 can rotel 
  • 4 cans water using the rotel can
  • Spicy chili seasoning (from The Spice Hunter)
  • Shredded cheddar cheese 
  • Sour cream
  • Jalapeños
Directions:
  1. Brown bison, sausage and garlic together.
  2. Add all other ingredients.
  3. Bring to a boil then simmer for 20 min. 

Top with your favorites! ðŸ˜‹ I like The Spice Hunter spices (both Spicy Chili and Spicy Taco) because they are clean…no maltodextrin. The spicy chili has a little cane sugar…but it is second to last on the ingredients. 

Chili Cheese Dogs

I cooked up the KETO chili and pan seared some hot dogs. Topped with cheese, sour cream, jalapeños and mustard. 

Tastes just like the real thing. We didn’t even miss the bread!  ðŸ˜‹

  2. Make Fat Head dough according to the instructions in Hip Tip section.

Fat Head Pizza Dough

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
  • ¾ cup almond flour
  • 2 tbs cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp xanthan gum (optional)
  • garlic powder
  • sea salt

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees
  2. Measure out almond flour, add garlic powder, salt, and xanthan gum and stir in a bowl.
  3. Put cheeses into a microwave safe bowl and heat for about a minute and 20 seconds. Stir the cheeses for 30 seconds; add almond flour mixture and egg. If it is too stringy, heat for another 20-30 seconds in the microwave.
  4. Wet hands and form into 5 balls on a baking sheet with parchment or a baking mat. Spread with wet hands. You want it to be relatively thin so that it is crispy (unless you like really soft doughy texture for your pizza).
  5. Poke the crust all over with a fork.
  6. Bake for 8 minutes turning dough about 2/3 way through.
  7. Poke down bubbles with a fork and cook an additional four minutes or until crust is browned.
  8. Spread with toppings of your choosing!

Wholesome Yum version

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • 2 tbsp Cream cheese (cut into cubes)
  • 2 large Egg (beaten)
  • 1/3 cup Coconut flour

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C). Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
  2. Combine the shredded mozzarella and cubed cream cheese in a large bowl. Microwave for 90 seconds, stirring halfway through. Stir again at the end until well incorporated. (**See notes for alternative to the microwave.)
  3. Stir in the beaten eggs and coconut flour. Knead with your hands until a dough forms. If the dough becomes hard before fully mixed, you can microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften it.
  4. Spread the dough onto the lined baking pan to 1/4″ or 1/3″ thickness, using your hands or a rolling pin over a piece of parchment (the rolling pin works better if you have one). Use a toothpick or fork to poke lots of holes throughout the crust to prevent bubbling.
  5. Bake for 6 minutes. Poke more holes in any places where you see bubbles forming. Bake for 3-7 more minutes, until golden brown.
