Cheddar Jalapeno Biscuits

Cheddar Jalapeno Biscuits

The pickled jalapenos in these biscuits deliver a little heat, and the bacon fat gives them a delicious hint of smoke. They are a perfect accompaniment to chili and make a wonderful vehicle for sausage and egg sandwiches or sloppy joes.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 F
  • Line a sheet pan with parchment paper
  • Mix the almond flour, coconut flour, chicken soup keto chow, baking powder, and chili powder together in a large bowl.
  • In a separate bowl beat together the eggs, heavy cream, and bacon fat.
  • Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients then fold in the cheese and jalapenos
  • Scoop eight biscuits - about 1/4 cup batter each - onto the prepared tray, spacing them evenly so they don’t run together.
  • If desired, sprinkle more cheese over them, and top each one with a slice of jalapeno.
  • Bake approximately 20 minutes, until the biscuits are golden around the edges and spring back when lightly touched in the center. For high altitude, add 5-7 extra minutes of baking time.
  • Serve warm.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container, in the refrigerator, for up to three days.

Ingredients

  • 4 large portobello mushrooms cleaned & stems removed
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • 2 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 8 oz baby spinach washed and dried
  • 1/2 cup canned or frozen artichoke hearts drained and chopped
  • 4 oz cooked chicken shredded or diced
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 scoop Savory Chicken Soup Keto Chow
  • 1/4 cup + 4 tsp grated parmesan cheese divided
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the broiler and line a sheet pan with tin foil (parchment paper will burn and could catch fire under the broiler)
  • Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper, splash a little olive oil on the mushrooms
  • Place the mushrooms on the pan and broil until they begin to soften and release some juices, about ten minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the oven and set them aside while you make the sauce
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet, over medium heat when it’s beginning to bubble add the garlic and Italian seasoning
  • Cook the garlic until it is golden and fragrant
  • Add the spinach and cook, stirring until the spinach has all wilted and most of the water has cooked off.
  • Add the artichokes and chicken and heat through.
  • Mix the keto chow with the heavy cream, and milk stir it into the skillet
  • Stir until the mixture is heated through and everything is combined.
  • Stir in 1/4 cup parmesan cheese and lemon juice, taste the sauce and add salt and pepper if desired
  • Sprinkle one teaspoon of the reserved parmesan cheese on each mushroom and then top them with a quarter of the sauce – about a 1/2 cup each
  • Top each one with mozzarella cheese and return them to the broiler. Broil until the cheese is browned and they are heated through about ten more minutes.
  • Try serving them with a green salad for a delicious summer meal.
