Our 25 Favorite Keto Chicken Recipes
Chicken dishes are so popular that they are the third most widely consumed food in America, following closely behind grain-based desserts and yeast breads.

Noodles, tomato, beef, and cheese. How can we possibly have this while staying keto? You guessed it! We’re using a cheese-based dough to create keto-friendly noodles. Then we layer those with a meaty tomato sauce, and a special cheese topping. Instead of ricotta, we cut the carbs with a cheesy spread made from mozzarella, ...

Keto Reuben Cabbage Rolls
Do you love Reuben sandwiches? I love this adult version of grilled cheese. The classic Reuben piles meat, Swiss, sauerkraut, and dressing between slices of grilled rye bread. For simplicity, we replace the bread with cabbage rolls and turn the whole thing into a delicious casserole. We included a recipe for Thousand Island dressing, but if you have a premade dressing that you like better then feel free to use it. Just make sure that it’s sugar-free because many of them have added sugar. ...
