The Best Of The Best Lazy Keto Meals; Tuscan Chicken
There are many ways to make this dish your own. I used sundried tomatoes, grape tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, and spinach after researching a few different recipes. You should use what you like and what you have room for within your carb totals.
This recipe yielded 4 servings. That means I’ve added about 9 carbs in just veggies per serving.
The beauty of this diet really is in the changes and swaps you can make while enjoying your food. For example, I wanted more protein and I’m obsessed with chicken sausage. So, I added it to the dish. I’m so glad I did.
Remember to play and experiment. Food is fun!
So let’s get into it.
Easy Lazy Keto Meals
First, take about a pound and a half of chicken and butterfly the breasts. Feel free to cut them in half, too, if they are too wide. You’re looking for a few portions with ‘equal-ish’ amounts of protein per serving.
Next, season the breasts and sear them on each side until the chicken is almost cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Meanwhile, cut your chicken sausage to a desired size and sear in the same pan that you used to cook the chicken and set those aside when they have crispy edges. That’s my favorite part of cut pieces of chicken sausage.
Then you’ll saute. your veggies and build your creamy cheesy base before returning the chicken and chicken sausage to the skillet.
That’s it. It’s so easy!
Serve as is or over cauliflower rice which is the perfect vehicle for sopping up all that yummy sauce!
