Keto Chicken and Asparagus – This creamy low carb chicken and asparagus is made in less than 30 minutes with flavor-packed juicy chicken breasts and a creamy delicious sauce with just 5g of net carbs perfect for your keto dinner or lunch.

Keto Chicken and Asparagus – Notes

Chicken – Use medium-sized boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in equal size for better and evenly cooking. Large chicken breasts, chicken things, or drumsticks will also work, but it will take longer to cook.

Seasonings – I am just using simple garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Try adding oregano, paprika, dried thyme to change the taste.

Oil – Nothing is better when the chicken is fried in butter, it gives a nice flavor to this dish. Use avocado oil or olive oil instead.

Cream – For the heavy cream, use half and half instead

Add some red pepper flakes to give it a different kick.

Veggies – This keto creamy lemon chicken and asparagus recipe is very versatile. Switch the veggies as per your taste. Add sliced mushrooms, chopped baby spinach, chopped broccoli or cauliflower florets, green peppers, or brussels sprouts.

Can I store this keto one skillet chicken and asparagus?

Pack the sauce and chicken separately in an air-tight container and store in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. When ready to eat, heat a skillet and reheat the chicken and sauce separately or pop into the microwave and heat a 50% power or until warmed through.

What to serve with this low carb creamy chicken and asparagus?

Serve over riced cauliflower, zucchini zoodles, or over a bed of green leafy salad bowl with sliced avocado on the top.
