If you want a one-dish meal that will feed your entire family, then you need to make this Keto Creamy Garlic Chicken In Tomato Cream Sauce. You won’t believe how quickly this meal comes together.
Creamy Keto Chicken Thighs
If you ever find chicken thighs on sale at the grocery store, grab them and freeze them! This recipe is one of my favorite ways to use chicken thighs. There are lots of other things you can do with them too. My other favorite chicken thigh recipe is keto kung pao chicken.
Keto Chicken Thighs Skillet
The entire meal is made in the same skillet. It only takes 30 minutes to make, from start to finish! The best thing about this recipe is that it doesn’t require lots of chopping or preparation before you cook. You can just start cooking it in your skillet and it’s ready in 30 minutes!
Plus, if you enjoy meal prep, then keep this recipe on your list. It reheats really well for meal prep. Just heat it up in a skillet or even the microwave. When you store it for meal prep, keep it in your favorite sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Low Carb Chicken Dinner
Chicken is one of my favorite meats to use for dinner. It’s just so easy to use and cook with. Chicken needs to cook to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F – which you’ll reach within 30 minutes in the skillet.
This recipe only has 5g net carbs per serving! It has everything you need for a meal – the chicken and the spinach. If you wanted to add another side dish, this would taste really delicious with the creamy sauce drizzled on some asparagus.
You can also serve it with some cauliflower mash and drizzle some of the cream sauce on it like you would with gravy. Cauliflower has such a mild flavor that you’ll be able to really taste the creamy sauce on top.
30-Minute Low-Carb Garlic Chicken
Another thing I love about this recipe is that if you are a busy mom (like me) you can make this even while you are really distracted.
All you really have to do is cook the chicken thighs, then make the sauce, and then combine it all with the chicken, bacon, feta cheese, and spinach!
In fact, share this recipe with someone that you know is just learning how to cook. It’s a really confidence-boosting recipe to make. It’s so easy and yet tastes like something you would order at a restaurant.
Keto Cream Sauce For Chicken
I can see this sauce tasting delicious on other types of meat too. Chicken just has the mild flavor that mixes with his creamy sauce the best! I used chicken thighs, but you can use chicken breast in it as a substitute.
Try this recipe with pork chops! It will taste just as delicious. You only need to cook the pork to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
Tomato Cream Sauce Recipe
What really makes this recipe stand out is the creamy sauce! It’s made with a combination of tomato paste and heavy whipping cream. If you can’t find any heavy whipping cream, you can use heavy cream in its place. There really isn’t a dairy-free alternative to heavy whipping cream that has the exact same consistency and taste. The closest one I could find is soy milk and olive oil.
When you mix tomato paste with heavy whipping cream, the result is a zesty and creamy sauce! It’s amazing.
