Recipe By: Adapted from Dr. Atkins' New Diet Cookbook Note: grams noted in Notes section are for carbohydrate grams only.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. (149 degrees C.). Combine chicken or shrimp, water chestnuts. Divide mixture evenly between 6 oven proof custard cups. [* see note following recipe.] Beat eggs, salt and stock togethe. Pour into custard cups. Cover each cup with two spinach or lettuce leaves. (IMO, spinach adds more flavor.) Place filled custard cups in large pan with 3 inches of boiling water. Cover entire pan with silver foil (shiny side to the inside) and bake for 30 mins or until set. (When sharp knife inserted into custard pulls out clean.)

[*The cookbook actually states "Divide sugar substitutely into 6 custard cups." Please do not follow those directions in the cookbook. They were obviously an error!]
