This week I made some Italian-style dishes that I’m excited to share. As a father of three young kids and someone who works 10-12 hour days, I’m consistently looking for quick options when my wife can’t adapt a meal for me or it’s my turn to cook. Here’s what I did:
Ingredients:
-1.5lb thin sliced chicken breast
-one bags frozen green giant veggie zucchini spirals
-one bag frozen bird eye shredded veggies – carrots and broccoli
Procedure:
-pat dry the chicken breast and cut them in half
-seasoned with Italian seasoning I had
-heat in pan on medium heat with avocado oil
-let chicken rest
-threw frozen zucchini spirals in pan with avocado oil
-drained the water
-added frozen carrots / broccoli
-cut chicken into smaller pieces
-melted butter and added minced garlic
-poured garlic butter into pan
-mixed everything together

My kids loved the meal. It was a bit higher in carbs than i typically aim for but the meal was so worth it.
This may not be the most ground breaking meal, but it was quick, keto, and tasty!
