No reviews

Delicious and nutritious low-carb, high-protein meals that are quick and easy to prepare.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Chicken breast, lean cuts
  • Ground turkey or beef
  • Eggs, farm-fresh if possible
  • Greek yogurt or cottage cheese
  • A variety of fresh vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, zucchini, etc.)
  • Olive oil or avocado oil
  • Seasonings (garlic powder, paprika, cumin, etc.)
  • Fresh herbs (basil, cilantro, or parsley)

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add your chosen oil.
  2. Season your protein with herbs and spices, then add to the pan.
  3. Sauté meat until it’s well browned and cooked through—about 7-10 minutes for chicken and turkey, less for lean ground beef.
  4. Once the protein is cooked, toss in your vegetables and stir-fry until tender but still crisp—about 5-7 minutes.
  5. If using eggs, scramble them into the mixture for the last minute of cooking to create a creamy texture.
  6. Stir in yogurt or cottage cheese for creaminess and extra protein just before serving.

Notes

Consider marinating proteins for at least 30 minutes for improved flavor.
