Low Carb Tuscan Chicken Recipe

Low Carb Tuscan Chicken Recipe – How to make an easy creamy keto and paleo friendly chicken dinner meal with sun-dried tomatoes.

Low Carb Tuscan Chicken

This low carb Tuscan chicken meal makes a wonderful keto friendly comfort food meal that the whole family will enjoy for dinner. 

The best part is that you can adapt the low carb meal to your own tastes, dietary requirements and what is easy for you to find at local grocery stores. 

The Keto Diet Friendly Ingredients

Here are the ingredients included and some ideas for more to adapt the Keto Tuscan chicken recipe to your tastes: 

Chicken – you can include boneless and skinless chicken thighs or boneless skinless chicken breasts in the easy weeknight dinner. You can swap for bone in and skin on, just add more cooking time. I find that there’s plenty of healthy fats in the rich sauce so having skinless boneless chicken thighs is perfect.  

Seasoning – add your seasoning of choice to the meal, choose from simply adding in salt and ground paprika as I have done or add in black pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, fresh basil or fresh parsley. 

Vegetables – I’ve included chopped red onions, fresh garlic, sundried tomatoes and baby spinach to make a healthy, vegetable infused meal. 

Creamy Sauce – mix together heavy cream and chicken broth or chicken broth for a super flavorful creamy low carb sauce. You can swap the dairy ingredients for coconut milk, coconut cream or cashew cream to keep the recipe dairy free. 

Extra Ingredients – make a cheesy, creamy parmesan sauce by adding in Parmesan Cheese, Cheddar Cheese or Cream Cheese.

Sides – serve your delicious meal as is or with keto friendly sides like cauliflower rice, cauliflower mash, green beans or zucchini noodles.
