Agree the macros are off for this. I omitted the avacado and used 1 lb skinless chicken breast (3-4 oz/person is a standard serving size). To add fat, I added more olive oil and some parmesean cheese. Cream would work too, but I didn't want a cream dish. The amount of veggies was absolutely a delight and the base spices were solid to work off of tho!

Made this tonight and we absolutely loved it! Followed the suggestion to add fresh lemon juice and hot sauce and it was delicious. Thank you for a great, dairy free, healthy keto recipe :)

Also meant to add, we used boneless skinless breast which brought the calories per serving to 318.

Agree. Less chicken and make a creamy sauce with heavy cream, fresh grated Parmesan and a bit of butter. Salt and pepper.

The whole family loved this. We added Texas Pete and butter to create a sauce. It was great for leftovers as well.

The recipe was... fine. It has far too little fat and way too much protein for being keto. Please remove the "healthy" from the title. Even if it is healthy for many. It's not universally healthy. It's also not really keto. You could tolerate it on some days, but 8 carbs, for just 400kcal? No way. Reduce the chicken by 50%, add cream, make it a "low-carb, creamy chicken and greens extravaganza". A few mushrooms might be nice. Pan-fried in lots of oil. ***Avocado is a nature-wrecking fruit and should only be consumed if you live near where it grows.*** Health is more than just body and mind.
