Notes
- Please keep in mind that the nutritional information is calculated using a nutrition facts calculator. It is a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
- Chicken: Use boneless or skinless chicken thighs or breasts. I love using mostly boneless breasts. Some may love keeping bone-in for added flavor.
- Rice: You may use brown or white rice. A great substitute for the rice would be either quinoa or some shredded cauliflower to keep it keto!
- Veggies: Some other veggies to use can be broccoli, green beans, peas, and cauliflower.
