INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:
CHICKEN BREASTS:
- We utilize boneless, skinless chicken breasts because they provide lean protein and a tender texture. As a substitute, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs.
CREAM CHEESE:
- We utilize full-fat cream cheese because it creates a rich and creamy sauce. You can replace it with Neufchâtel cheese, although the sauce will be less rich.
RANCH SEASONING:
- We utilize keto-friendly ranch seasoning to provide savory flavor without adding unnecessary carbohydrates. You can use homemade ranch seasoning with parsley, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
