50 Keto Dinner Recipes Including Chicken post pinterest graphic

Do you have some chicken sitting in your fridge that you are unsure what to do with? Are you sick of eating the same plain, boring chicken? If so, this post is a great place to start! Here are 50 keto dinner recipes that all include CHICKEN!

Chicken in Keto Recipes

Chicken is a great source of low carb protein! It is also super versatile and can be flavored with almost anything! However, it can be difficult to find good chicken recipes that are keto. Think about it…some of the most popular chicken dishes (chicken pot pie, chicken tenders, chicken parmesan, etc.) are SUPER high in carbs!

The good thing is that there are soooo many keto chicken recipes out there that make amazing dinners! I had such a hard time choosing, but here are 50 of my favorite keto dinner recipes including chicken!
