The keto Balsamic Chicken with Roasted Veggies recipe is ideal for a low-carb diet. This dish is straightforward and tasty. We marinated them in a zesty mixture of balsamic and olive oil, and then roasted them with vibrant veggies like bell peppers, squash, onions, and zucchini. The balsamic glaze gently caramelizes, and the flavors intensify as everything cooks together, bringing out the dish’s harmony of sweet and savory flavors. The roasted veggies also provide low carbohydrate content and a wealth of vitamins and minerals, along with adding a diversity of textures. Each portion of keto Balsamic Chicken with Roasted Veggies is filling, high in nutrients, and goes nicely with fresh salad or cauliflower rice, two keto-friendly sides.
