A simple weekday dinner ready in 30 minutes
I’m sure you’ve made this if you’re on Keto diet for more than a month. This is the easiest version basically and very delicious. I’m thankful we don’t need to limit fat.
TOOLS and GADGETS
- Shallow Skillet
TIPS and SUBSTITUTIONS
- You can make the exact recipe with chicken legs.. less protein more fat, hence more keto. I had chicken breasts so I made it this way. Less calories is one plus over chicken legs.
- No thickeners or flours needed to dredge the chicken breast before cooking. I’ve made it like that with almond flour, protein isolate etc. before. It’s not much of a difference, just more difficult and not really worth the extra time and effort imo.
