Where To Buy Low Carb Palmini Pasta
The star of this recipe is Palmini pasta. This famously low-carb pasta is made from the hearts of palm. These noodles are usually in a can and you can find them online or from your local Walmart.

There are lots of ways that you can customize this pasta dinner. The cream sauce tastes delicious on fish, shrimp, or even salmon. If you’d like to save yourself even more time in the kitchen, pick up a rotisserie chicken, and then you just have to make the cream sauce.
Pour the sauce on top of the chicken and pasta and dinner is ready!
Add some spinach to it for a little green and nutrition. It really is a one-skillet dinner idea that everyone will enjoy.

What To Serve With Creamy Lemon Chicken
This is an entire meal in one skillet, but if you want something to serve with it, make my low-carb drop biscuits. You can dip them in the cream sauce and it tastes so delicious.
I also like to serve this with my low-carb cheesy asparagus. It’s the perfect veggie to serve with any kind of lemon chicken dish.
Best Low Carb Pasta For Keto
My favorite type of low-carb pasta is Palmini. I love the taste, texture, and that it comes in a can – so all I have to do is heat it up. You can also use zucchini noodles if you want, it tastes delicious too.

You could also add some unsweetened toasted coconut flakes. Of course, everything tastes better with bacon, so add some crumbled bacon on top!
