in Recipes, Dinner, Meal Chicken skewers with low carb fries and spinach dip
These tasty chicken skewers with fries made of celery root (also known as celeriac) and a delicious spinach dip are a real treat! If you can't find celery root you can substitute them with rutabaga. An even quicker alternative, with even fewer carbs, are wax or green beans. Fry them in flavorless coconut oil or ghee for just for a few minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Done.

Making low carb simple
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Put the marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix. Add the chicken. Set aside and allow to marinate for 10–20 minutes at room temperature.
- Peel the celery root. Cut into 0.5" (1 cm) thick strips.
- Place the fries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with oil and mix everything thoroughly. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes to start with (about 50 minutes in total or until crisp).
- Thread the chicken on the skewers and spread them out on another baking sheet lined with parchment paper or preferably on a roasting rack. Put them in the oven together with the fries for 20-30 minutes or until they are cooked.
- To make the dip, remove the excess liquid from the thawed spinach. Add into a bowl and mix well with the other dip ingredients.
- Serve the chicken skewers with the celery-root fries and spinach dip. Garnish with some fresh thyme and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Mame - I had the same concerns but they're only 9g per 100g according to nutritionist advice I received.
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup hot sauce (I only use Frank’s)
Dash of Worcester
Garlic powder to taste
Toss the cooked chicken in and stir.
It’s not BBQ sauce but it’s damn tasty and has no carbs!
