Tips for making flavorful keto chicken!
Chicken breast. Whenever possible, use high quality meat. Organic and free-range is always a plus.
Mayonnaise. Take a look at the ingredient list before you buy your mayonnaise. Mayonnaise can be a great addition to a keto lifestyle, but unfortunately, many brands add a load-full of sugar and unhealthy vegetable oils to their products. Look for brands that make their mayonnaise with avocado oil, coconut oil, or olive oil, and are sugar-free.
Sour cream. Sour cream should only have one ingredient: cultured milk. Buy full fat products.
