Having friends over for an easy dinner tomorrow and was going to do Mexican chicken, rice, salad, wraps and possibly sweet potato wedges. Have now found out friends are on a carb free diet at the moment, any advice what I can do to go with the chicken? Also any ideas for dessert that would go along with diet restrictions please. Thanks

Hi Chocolatepennyfarthing
I eat low carb, I would suggest going ahead with the chicken, but instead of Wraps, use lettuce leaves, Cauliflower rice instead of Proper rice, good coleslaw is LC, if the are very strict they may not eat sweet potatoes, I have them as a treat - but celeriac fries are really nice and LC.
For pud I would suggest strawberries and cream, or very dark chocolate trufflesNote to self - STOP SPENDING MONEY !!

Chicken and salad sounds fine to me, especially if they didn't think to tell you until today about their needs. Fruit for pudding (I'd still have the option of cake too!).0

Depending on which low carb diet, and at what stage, they may not eat much fruit. For 'dessert' a cheese board without the crackers! is ideal, or a sugar-free jelly with whipped cream is also good, unless they are doing paleo (no dairy).
Chicken and salad is great. Serve the wraps seperately so everyone can build their own, or not, and provide relevant cutlery to the guest not 'wrapping'!
No need to go to a lot of trouble, honestly.I have changed my work-life balance to a life-work balance.0
