Lately I have seen nothing but ads on TV and in magazines for a new cooking product that Kraft has come out with. It seems like it's a product they feel pretty strongly about with all the marketing they are doing to push it into our minds. It's call Kraft Philadelphia Cooking Creme. Its a product designed to be added to meals easily to add extra flavor and taste. And being from their Philidephia line of products, cream cheese must be a major ingredients. This jumped out to me since we all know cream cheese is very low carb. It seemed like it might be an easy product to make a quick low carb meal and worth checking out.
I picked up a tub of the Italian Cheese and Herb flavored Cooking Creme as it seemed like it may go with some of the veggies I had on hand. I chopped up some zucchini, yellow squash, broccoli and cooked them up with some diced chicken breast. Once all those ingredients were ready I put in about 3/4 of the tub of the cooking creme. It melted over everything pretty quickly. I let in cook in the sauce about three minutes on a low heat to get it the flavors the mix well and then it was time to eat.
It was really good. It was very creamy and almost tasted like a pasta dish without the noodles. We found that it was great with fresh Parmesan sprinkled over the top to give it a little extra taste. What's great about this product is that its super easy to use and way less carbs then using a pasta sauce for a recipe like this. The creme itself is 5 carbs for 1/4 a cup. Mix that in with the veggies and you have a super low carb tasty flavorful meal. Again, I can't stress how easy it was to use this.
Philadelphia cooking creme comes in a few other flavors and I know we cant wait to give the a try at out house soon.
