Chicken Fajitas
Chicken Fajitas are an easy and quick weeknight dinner idea that are popular with families. Juicy marinated and seared chicken is combined with sauteed bell peppers and onions for the ideal mix of sweet, savory, spicy flavors; served alongside warm tortillas, guacamole, sour cream, and salsa for an authentic Mexican dinner experience!
For maximum flavor, we suggest using a cast iron skillet when making your fajitas – it will give them an irresistibly crispy edge that really brings out all their flavors! However, you could also grill these instead. If prepping for multiple people at once, double or triple this recipe so they can enjoy leftovers throughout the week or freeze and enjoy at a later date!
As with fajitas, any variety of lettuce is suitable as topping for your fajitas. Iceberg or butter lettuce tends to be the most nutritionally dense options, though you could add fresh chopped cilantro if desired for extra flavour and aroma. You could also opt for low carb options by substituting guacamole as opposed to cheese and sour cream!
This keto dinner idea can easily be prepared ahead of time and frozen for later enjoyment – simply be sure to omit onions and peppers when freezing these. When ready, just heat up when ready.

Keto Fried Chicken
People love the crunch of fried chicken, but eating this treat on a keto diet can be challenging. Most fried chicken recipes contain flour or cornmeal that is high in carbohydrates and may knock you out of ketosis. With some simple modifications though, you can still enjoy this delectable treat while remaining keto-compliant!
Instead of the more conventional breading ingredients, this keto-friendly recipe utilizes almond flour and parmesan cheese for an alternate crunch that’s low in carbs while being more healthful than traditional fried chicken options.
This recipe’s key element is its buttermilk wash, which ensures the breading sticks securely to each chicken piece. Most fried chicken recipes use milk as their dredging medium; but for an easier alternative use heavy cream instead and stir until thick and fluffy – similar to what buttermilk texture provides.
Next, chicken is submerged in a buttermilk wash and breading mix of choice – KFC recommends their Secret Spice Blend but any seasoning you like should work just as well. Finally, they’re deep-fried until golden-brown and fully cooked!
Serve the chicken with fresh greens or mashed cauliflower and enjoy. Any leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to three days and reheated in either an oven or air fryer (see instructions below).
Fry chicken may not be the healthiest dinner option, but it can still fit into a keto diet if portions and ingredients are monitored closely. To remain on a ketogenic diet, avoid takeout fried chicken that does not remove breading before eating it, while homemade versions allow for greater control of ingredients and portion sizes – enabling you to still enjoy this tasty dish while remaining within its parameters!
