“The delicious cauli-mash in this easy dish is courtesy of my lovely husband who was instructed to prepare dinner one night. I defrosted chicken thighs, then asked him to use up the cauliflower and spinach we had kicking about. What resulted was a beautiful creation! He made a cauli spinach mash, then added grated Parmesan and some of the chicken tray juices. I personally do this without thinking, but I found it quite special that he did this without my knowing. I hope you love this perfectly keto-friendly meal which ticks all the boxes! This happened about a year ago, but I am only creating this post now because I simply never forgot about it. – Monya
“Pesto is a powerfully flavoured condiment, so I add crème fraiche to create a tasty dip for seasoned chicken. The salad delivers plenty of complementary flavours, as it features tomatoes, fresh garlic, and Parmesan. I then finish it off with a scattering of toasted pine nuts. Delicious! – Monya
“I have pimped simple chicken thighs here by serving them with an indulgent, spicy sauce. This sauce deserves to be mopped up and the seasoned cauliflower rice does that job just perfectly. Be sure to check the nifty, useful tips I add at the end of the recipe to help you get the most out of the experience! – Monya
“This is such a quick and easy dinner using seasoned chicken breasts. Bursting with the flavour of basil pesto mixed with some creamy creme fraiche to dip into. Every mouthful is lovely! You can make your own pesto (like I do here), or use store-bought, if that’s easier. Enjoy with your favourite salad or veg on the side.” – Monya
“This pesto chicken keto pasta is a quick idea where I throw together konjac noodles, pesto and chicken breasts. I also add roasted cherry tomatoes which add bites of sweetness. Remember, these noodles need to be rinsed well before using. I simmer them several times in batches of fresh water. This removes the funky packaging smell. Regarding the texture, well, you get used to it!” – Monya
“I have been wanting to make my own Cajun spice mix for a while now because I read the label of my store-bought bottle and noticed sugar present. In the interest of keeping the rest of this dish super-simple, I simply scatter it over cauliflower and chicken drumsticks before baking. If three drumsticks per person seems too much for your daily protein, just keep the extra for lunch the next day. The lime and sour cream sauce is a lovely, soothing drizzle over the dish, so don’t skip it! This is perfect with a scattering of finely chopped coriander (cilantro). Enjoy!” – Monya
“This tamari maple chicken with mushroom risotto dish is so interesting! The umami flavour of the mushrooms pair well with all the other components! If you choose not to use konjac rice, you could try this with cauliflower rice, cooked and seasoned as you normally would (although the carbs will be higher). This chicken dinner is lovely with a fresh salad on the side. And, assuming you love chicken as much as I do, will want two beautiful thighs per person!” – Monya
“This is an indulgent dish that is made using diced up boneless, skinless chicken thighs (which are far more succulent than chicken breasts). The browned pieces are simply poached in a thick seasoned cream and can be used as a sauce over courgetti or konjac (shirataki) noodles. Alternatively, you could serve it over Creamy Cauliflower Mash or Cauliflower Rice. Its the heavenly flavour of baked cream that really makes this dish sing, along with the sweet bites of tomato. The fresh basil scattered over before serving finishes it beautifully.” – Monya
“The great flavour of this chicken and veg with balsamic drizzle is enhanced further by the addition of basil. I especially love the balsamic mustard reduction drizzled over at the end. It brings a sharpness that shapes the whole dish and a key flavour to the end-result. The whole lot takes only 35 minutes to cook, but this means getting some things going at the same time. I have outlined an efficient order in the method below. Remember, always preheat your oven and prep all your components before you even start cooking – its good practice for any cook. As amazing as this dish is, you may want to save it for a day after intermittent fasting because it still calculates at 12g carbs per serving. Be sure to see all the Poultry dishes on the site.” – Monya
“Thai Green Curry Paste and coconut milk makes a fantastic flavour combination. This low carb Thai green chicken curry uses chicken and baby chestnut mushrooms and is served over konjac (shirataki) ‘rice‘. Enjoy this lovely, quick curry with freshly chopped coriander (cilantro) scattered over.” – Monya
“I LOVE fresh oregano and when I spot it in stores, I grab a packet and make this dish! Its key to the overall flavour. The other predominant element is the lemony flavour throughout the dish. Its a fresh and essential part of the dish. The tomatoes and roasted red onions bring a sweetness in every mouthful, and the whole lot bakes together. A fantastic dish to break a fast or to enjoy at dinner if your macros allow for 12g carbs in one sitting. Its a rich and tasty dinner, and all the flavours just work.” – Monya
