Low Carb Lemon Chicken

Nothing better than the smell of dinner cooking!

Low Carb Creamy Lemon Chicken

Last week I made this low carb creamy lemon chicken with an amazing citrus scent that had everyone eager to sit down and eat! I have an impressive collection of kitchen gadgets that I use frequently, but I always go back to my trusty slower cooker on those days where I know I’ll be too busy to tend to dinner.

Low Carb Creamy Lemon Chicken
It’s so nice to be able to turn on the slow cooker, walk away, and let it work its magic! Recipes like this lemon chicken are perfect to make in the slow cooker, and the result is a juicy chicken that’s low carb and keto-friendly!

If you’re eating low carb, you can serve this chicken with a cauliflower rice recipe or with this cauliflower mashed potatoes. For a quick dinner, you can add a side salad or some veggies.
