What is the Mediterranean Keto diet?
The Mediterranean Keto diet includes healthy, low-carb Mediterranean ingredients. This might be the healthiest way to stay on the Keto diet while enjoying all the wonderful flavors of the Mediterranean region.
Can I use some other sweetener?
Adding some sweetener to the tomato sauce will greatly improve its flavor. We have decided to use some granulated erythritol, but you can use any type of your favorite sweetener. You can also adjust the amount of the sweetener according to your taste.
Can I use another cheese for the meat?
We have decided to use sliced mozzarella for this recipe because it will melt perfectly over the meat. However, you can use any type of grated or sliced cheese to top the chicken breasts.
