“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
“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
“Who doesn’t love chicken? Here, I took the humble drumstick up a notch and cooked them with toasted sesame oil and sesame seeds to make sesame chicken. It is then garnishing with fresh chili and coriander (cilantro). Toasted sesame oil delivers MASSIVE flavour and I love it! NOTE: I used 8 large drumsticks in this recipe and assumed each person’s portion would be two drumsticks each. This is how the macros were calculated, but you can increase the amount if you want to.” – Monya
“This spicy zuppa Toscana is a rich, deeply-flavoured family chicken dish. Funnyman and I love spicy food so I added a whopping half tablespoon of ground cayenne pepper which added a satisfying ‘kick’. However, you can omit it if you are cooking this for kids, or reduce the amount for the those who don’t like spicy food. This creamy chicken dish can be enjoyed over Cauliflower Mash, Cauliflower Rice or shirataki / konjac noodles. It’s absolutely delicious!” – 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
