What to serve with this dish?

This Keto comfort dinner begs to be paired with cauliflower mash or roasted vegetables.

    Even though I cooked the chicken to dust, I still want to marry myself for the sauce.

          This recipe was absolutely delicious… I did add 1/8 of a cup of a dry white wine and then reduced the sauce. That added a negligible amount of calories and carbs to the entire recipe. My husband asked that I keep this in the rotation so that’s a plus for me.
