The Best Keto Creamed Spinach With Chicken Thighs
A Plate Full of Deliciousness
This recipe is for the best keto creamed spinach with chicken thighs. The reason we’ve named it like this, is because it truly is the best recipe around. Firstly, it contains chicken thighs, rather than breasts, which are packed full of extra nutrients and flavors. It also contains cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream and parmesan cheese. These are perfect for giving the dish a rich taste that is completely unique. Finally, the avocado oil, chopped spinach and tomatoes (we used 1 can of Mild Rotel) keeps this dish feeling fresh. It also adds an additional lighter flavor to the cheese, mayonnaise and sour cream.
Recipe Information
This recipe is very basic to make. All that’s involved is seasoning and frying the chicken until it’s cooked and then mixing all the ingredients in the pan until the spinach has thawed and wilted. How easy does that sound?!? And because it’s so quick, this meal is perfect for treating yourself to on a weeknight when all you want to do is watch the flat screen.
As this recipe even feeds six adults, it’s perfect for families. Whatever appetite your children have, there’s enough to keep everyone happy. If there’s lots left over, don’t worry, this is an added bonus. It can be packed in a tightly sealed container and as long as it is kept in a cool bag, this meal is perfect for taking as a packed lunch.
