Chicken dinner does not have to mean the same plain chicken breast every night. These keto chicken recipes bring together buttery skillet meals, cheesy bakes, lettuce wraps, grilled skewers and comfort-food favorites, giving you different ways to use breasts, thighs or ground chicken.
Start with our Wellness Warrior recipes, then explore additional ideas from other recipe creators below. Some dishes are quick to cook; others need baking or marinating time. Open each recipe for its full ingredient list, instructions and serving information, and check labels on sauces, dressings and low-carb tortillas.
Serve your choice with cauliflower rice, sautéed greens or roasted low-carb vegetables rather than automatically adding rice, pasta or potatoes.
