The Ultimate Keto Mediterranean Chicken with Vegetables
The Mediterranean Keto diet means plenty of colorful vegetables, delicious olive oil, and good protein. This beautiful recipe combines tender chicken thighs and fried vegetables for a fantastic lunch or dinner. We have decided to add some fresh basil leaves to the vegetable mixture, but you can replace it with any other type of fresh Mediterranean herbs you prefer. Adding a little of your sweetener of choice will nicely balance the bitterness of the vegetables, and we strongly recommend it. Feel free to add more if needed. It's best served warm with some fresh goat's cheese or Greek yogurt.
What is the Mediterranean Keto diet?
The Mediterranean Keto diet is a lovely combination of low-carb and Keto foods that are also widely used in Mediterranean cuisine. This diet includes plenty of low-carb vegetables, fish and poultry, fresh cheese, and plenty of olive oil. It's a wonderful and healthy combination the whole family can enjoy.
Can I use some other type of vegetables for this recipe?
Any type of low-carb vegetable would be perfect for this recipe. Add some broccoli, asparagus, or leafy greens, such as spinach, to the pan and cook until tender.
