Low Carb Chicken Bacon Broccoli Alfredo Bake #LowCarb #Keto

(All posts may contain affiliate links or sponsored content. Please see my disclosure policy)

I recently made this Low Carb Chicken Bacon Broccoli Alfredo Bake for my family and it was quite the hit! If you are eating a low carb or keto-friendly diet, then this dish would be a great dinner idea to add into your menu rotation. It is so easy to prepare and great to make if you need a quick meal for those busy weeknights!

Low Carb Chicken Bacon Broccoli Alfredo Bake

Ingredients:

Cube Chicken into bite size pieces from a Rotisserie Chicken

1 bag of Steam Fresh Broccoli Florets

1 15oz. Jar of Bertolli Alfredo Sauce (you could make your own, but I have found that this brand only has 2 net carbs per serving)

4-5 slices of pre-cooked bacon, chopped into bite-sized pieces

Grated Parmesan Cheese

Salt/Pepper to taste

1/4 tsp. Garlic Powder

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cook the Broccoli according to microwave directions. I like to cook under by just a couple of minutes since this will be going in the oven.

On the stovetop, in a large skillet over medium high, add the chicken, broccoli and bacon pieces. Mix in the jar of Alfredo sauce and combine together just until warmed through. Add in salt/pepper to taste and the garlic powder.

Add into a baking dish and top with Grated Parmesan Cheese. (add as much or as little as you prefer) Bake at 350 degrees for around 30 or until golden brown and bubbly.

Serve with salad or another vegetable and enjoy!

Low Carb Protein Coffee Drink

If you are following a low carb or keto diet, I am sure that you are looking for new ways to incorporate more protein into your diet. I have seen this low carb protein coffee drink floating around Instagram for quite some time now and decided to give it a try this week. I am hooked! It is great for those mornings or afternoons that you are in a hurry. Just keep a protein shake in your purse and head through the drive thru at Starbucks! And, believe it or not, this is very budget-friendly!

Here is how to get your delicious and filling Low Carb Protein Coffee Drink:

☕️ At Starbucks ask for a double shot of espresso over ice in a Venti cup. (at my store this is only $2.45)

☕️ Add in a Premier Protein Shake and stir until the Espresso is mixed in. I have only tried the Chocolate variety, but I think the Caramel would be SO yummy as well!

☕️ Drink and enjoy! It is very filling! In fact, this keeps me full until my next meal!

You can find the Premier Protein Shakes at places like Amazon, Sam’s Club or Costco. The best deal is a warehouse club as you get more bang for your buck. For example, Sam’s sells the 12 pack for $16.66 which is a fantastic deal!

Let me know if you try this and what you think! You could also add coffee if don’t like Espresso.

Sausage and Cheese Stuffed Zucchini Boats #LowCarb #Keto

 (All posts may contain affiliate links or sponsored content. Please see my disclosure policy)

I don’t have to tell you that Keto and low-carb diets are all the fad these days. I have been trying to do the Keto thing and watch my carb intake for the past few weeks. In doing so, I have been finding that eating this way really is not that complicated. I made Sausage and Cheese Stuffed Zucchini Boats for dinner earlier this week and they are delicious! I made enough to have leftovers for lunch the next day- so easy yet so delicious and filling!

Ingredients:

4-6 zucchini washed and halved

1 jar marinara or pasta sauce

8oz. shredded mozarella cheese

1lb. cooked sausage

salt/pepper for taste

1/2 tsp. onion powder

 

Directions:

Preheat over to 350 degrees.

Scoop out the center of each of the halved zucchinis to make a “boat”.

Place in a greased baking pan.

Pour spaghetti sauce over each “boat”.

Spread cooked sausage and cheese evenly over each zucchini.

Sprinkle onion powder, salt and pepper over the entire dish.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until zucchini are tender and the cheese is bubbly.

Serve and enjoy! My entire family loved these!
