Keto Green Chile Chicken

Keto Green Chile Chicken is one of the best keto meals that I have ever eaten. Chicken is seasoned with salt and pepper, seared until browned, added into a skillet of onion, green chili, and cream cheese. The chicken continues to be topped with sprinkles of grated Jack cheese, then covered and cooked until cheese is melted. It comes out savory and flavorful, thereby, tantalize your taste buds right with the first bites.

Actually I’m not a keto eater. I just love to try different chicken dishes. It makes our daily more appealing and my cooking time more interesting. When I was looking for something new to jazz up boring chicken meals, my friend recommended me this. I give it a try right away and made a great job with it. My kids crave for this low-carb chicken and my husband also gives it a nod. So good!

Although this Keto green chili chicken looks super impressive, it’s WAY easier to make and quicker to serve than you think. Spend 25 minutes, both preparing and cooking, and you will have a good food to treat your family? Are you ready to turn it into homemade food? Let’s get started!
