For a very easy dinner idea, foil packets are an awesome choice. The food inside the foil steams into a perfectly cooked dinner. The chicken and the vegetables are juicy and tender.
You can easily stay on your keto diet without sacrificing flavor and there’s hardly any work or clean up involved.
If your family is like mine, they love lemon pepper seasoning on chicken and fish. This recipe calls for broccoli but you can add any low-carb veggie you want, such as, cauliflower, asparagus, green beans or zucchini.
Leftovers can be easily stored in their foil packets and you can throw them in the oven to heat up the next day!
