Keto Honey Garlic Chicken and Green Beans

Caramelized chicken and crispy green beans are cooked to perfection! This keto honey garlic chicken and green beans is the ultimate dinner.

 

Keto Honey Garlic Chicken 

There are just 4 grams net carbs in each serving of this flavorful dinner. And it only takes 40 minutes to make, from start to finish.

 

This will become your go-to recipe for those busy nights when you need to throw something together that the entire family will enjoy (and that you can eat, too!). Because, when you’re on keto and no one else is, it becomes a big hassle to make yourself a completely different meal. 

Sugar-free honey substitute is the secret to this recipe. It sweetens and caramelizes the chicken without leaving any funky aftertaste!

The rest of the ingredients are familiar to non-keto dieters and won’t throw you out of ketosis either. 

Chicken and Green Beans 

I love cooking with green beans! They cook really quickly and pair well with a variety of spices and sauces.

My green beans and bacon recipe is one of my family’s favorite side dishes. And I love making keto ground beef and green beans when I’m short on time, too. 

When you make chicken and green beans, add your own flair to the recipe. Use fresh onions instead of onion powder and for some heat add red pepper flakes.

And if you don’t have sugar-free honey substitute, you can replace it with Swerve brown sugar substitute. 

Honey Chicken Skillet 

Since you’re going to make the chicken in a skillet, I suggest using boneless, skinless chicken thighs. The dark meat won’t dry out as quickly or as easily as chicken breasts might.

 

If you only have chicken breasts, you can use them, too. You should marinate the chicken breasts in a combination of soy sauce and chicken broth before you fry the, to keep them as juicy as possible. 

Another quick tip for you is to use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. Soy sauce has traces of gluten in it, so it’s not good for anyone that is on a strict gluten-free diet. 

What To Eat With Chicken 

This honey garlic chicken and green beans is all you need for dinner. You’ve got the meat and the veggies, you don’t need much else.

 

If you want to add a cold salad, then either easy keto broccoli salad or keto TikTok mini peppers and cucumber salad are both a great choice. 

For a bread substitute, keto dinner rolls or keto garlic toast are perfect. And they taste delicious with fluffy cauliflower mash on the side. 

Speaking of sides, if you want more veggies, then make bacon wrapped asparagus. Everyone loves it! 

Chicken Meal Prep 

This is the perfect thing to add to your weekly meal prep. Store the cooked honey garlic chicken in an airtight food storage container. Keep it in the refrigerator for up to three days. 

 

It’s best to reheat it on the stove, but you can use the microwave. Just remember to cover it because it will splatter in the microwave.
