Did not really like. The sauce was lacking flavour and the texture was gummy.

This was very good, my husband who does not do Keto liked it very much. One cannot always eat beef so it’s nice to have a chicken recipe which is satisfying. Steamed some broccoli on the side and put some of the sauce from the chicken dish over it. Thank you for the quick and easy recipe!
