Garlic Roasted Chicken with Avocado Salsa - a perfect low-carbs choice

Among the many French dishes, roast chicken is undoubtedly a delectable choice. This "Garlic Roasted Chicken with Avocado Salsa" is not only a feast for the senses with its delightful colour, aroma, and flavour, but also a perfect option for a healthy diet. Combining classic garlic roast chicken with refreshing avocado salsa, it offers a meal that is both delicious and nutritious.


The Secret to Delicious Garlic Roast Chicken

In this dish, BigBoy uses garlic and rosemary to flavour the chicken, roasting one kilogram of it in the oven for about 50 minutes. This cooking method results in a crispy skin while keeping the meat tender and juicy on the inside. Not only is this roast chicken impressive in terms of taste and texture, but it also serves as an excellent low-carb option, making it very friendly to a healthy diet.


What is a Low-Carb Diet?

A low-carb diet, or low-carbohydrate diet, refers to reducing the intake of carbohydrates in your daily diet. This dietary approach typically includes more protein and healthy fats while limiting sources of carbohydrates, such as grains, sugars, and some root vegetables. By following this dietary pattern, you can effectively control blood sugar levels and promote fat burning, which helps in maintaining a healthy weight and improving metabolic health.


Benefits of a Low-Carb Diet

There are many benefits to choosing a low-carb diet. Firstly, it helps stabilise blood sugar and insulin levels, which is especially important for individuals with diabetes or insulin resistance issues. Additionally, a low-carb diet can promote fat burning, aiding in weight loss and maintaining an ideal weight. More importantly, this dietary approach can boost energy levels, making you feel more vibrant and energetic in your daily life.



Fresh Side: Avocado Salsa

In addition to the delicious garlic-roasted chicken, this dish is complemented by a refreshing avocado salsa. BigBoy has included ripe avocados, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes in the salsa, seasoning it with just a touch of lemon juice and salt. This simple seasoning approach preserves the natural flavours of the ingredients, resulting in a salsa that is both fresh and appetizing—perfectly pairing with the roasted chicken.


Making a Delicious Sauce with Roasting Juices

Don’t let the juices and fat from the roasted chicken go to waste. These flavorful remnants can be used to create a rich sauce by adding a splash of white wine and simmering. This sauce not only enhances the overall flavor of the dish but also makes each bite of chicken even more delicious. This meal is ideal for enjoying a delightful dish amidst a busy lifestyle while striking a perfect balance between health and taste.
