I used two slices of prosciutto per chicken breast, but as you can see you could use a third to fully cover the chicken. I calculated the nutrition with ten slices, I only used eight.

Low Carb Chili Con Carne

The first recipe here is the quick and easy recipe using a Club House packet of seasoning. I used the slow cooker and it took about 2 hours on low to get it to the consistency that I wanted.

It is very filling, but it is not completely homemade.

I love to add in leftover meats as well, chicken breast etc. And, I always put cheese on top of the chili (this is not included in the nutritional information).

I know the pictures are not very enticing. These were the best ones I could muster.




Ingredients
-100g of deli chicken (or use desired amount of chicken breast)
-1/2 Teaspoon of salt
-1 Packet of Club House 'Hot-n-Spicy Chili Mix'
-1 Can of Pizza Sauce (213 ml)
-1 Can of Kidney Beans (540 ml)
-3/4 LB of Cooked Ground Beef
-1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
-1/8 Teaspoon Paprika
-3 Cups of Water
-1/2 Teaspoon Pepper
-2 Tablespoons of Hot Sauce

Procedure

1. Ensure all meats are cooked.
2. Add all ingredients to crock pot/slow cooker. Cook on low for around 2 hours*.

*From all of my experiences, slow cookers vary cook times. Make sure you keep an eye on it the first time you make it.
