Keto chicken spaghetti – Important Tips

Chicken – Season the chicken overnight or at least one hour before cooking. Boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs can be used

Seasoning – I am using Italian seasoning, oregano or thyme will also work.

Oil – Use any low-carb oil, avocado oil or ghee is a great option. It’s always good to use butter for those juicy chicken breasts.

Onion and Garlic – Use fresh onion or garlic. Or ½ teaspoon powder of each will also work. For an extra kick of heat, add ¼ teaspoon chipotle chili powder. Chopped bell pepper can be added but is optional.

Diced Tomatoes – I used a 14-ounce can of diced Rotel tomatoes. Use 10 oz and freeze the leftovers for the next time or check on the carbs if using the whole can.

Cream and Cheese – Use Heavy whipping cream to keep it low carb, cream cheese can be used instead. When using cream cheese, omit the xanthan gum if you want, as it will help thicken the sauce.

Noodles – I have used Palmini noodles to make this dish more delicious and flavorful. Zucchini noodles or gluten-free spaghetti squash can also be used. For the zucchini noodles, cook, saute in a skillet, and drain well to avoid extra moisture. Reduce any extra moisture with paper towels before adding them to the dish.

Can I make this low-carb chicken spaghetti ahead of time?

You can make this delicious dish one day ahead and store it in the fridge up to the broiling stage. Store the leftovers in the refrigerator for upto three days or freeze them for up to one month.
