Creamy chicken spaghetti bake is an absolutely must-try!
Spaghetti? On a keto diet? How is that possible?!? Our amazing recipe will show you how! You can enjoy this amazing, delicious, creamy chicken spaghetti bake without having to worry about carbs- we have crafted this recipe to be perfectly keto-approved!
Creamy chicken spaghetti is the type of food that instantly makes you feel warm and cozy inside. It's the perfect meal for colder weather, and it never disappoints as far as flavor is concerned. Imagine a cold, winter's day that comes with that nice, comforting feeling that you have when the weather is cold but your oven is on and cooking up a hot, flavorful meal for you. That is what this recipe reminds me of. Any kind of spaghetti bake is just perfect for bringing you a little joy when the weather turns cold! Of course, regular chicken spaghetti is loaded with carbs, but this recipe is the perfect keto-friendly solution.
So what about those noodles? Pasta is one of the most carby foods out there, but have no fear; there's a way around this! Instead, use spiralized zucchini. Zucchini has a very similar texture to pasta, and it offers a slight flavor that really makes the dish complete. Zucchini also adds a great vegetable to this dish, making it a complete meal! You can find zucchini noodles (also known as zoodles!) in most grocery stores either in the produce section or with the frozen foods. You can easily make your own zucchini noodles using a spiralizer or just a regular old Peeler will do as well. Peel a zucchini into strips and you are ready to go!
Are you serving up to folks who aren't keeping it keto? Have no fear; they likely won't even notice a difference. The zucchini noodles are perfect for anyone and everyone will appreciate the healthiness of this recipe (that comes without sacrificing taste!). Your keto secret is safe with us! But just be warned, those who do follow a low carb diet will be begging for this recipe!
Other than switching out the pasta for zucchini, the rest of the meal pretty much remains the same. There's plenty of chicken, creamy base, tomatoes, and cheese to tie the whole thing together. As far as taste goes, you can't find a better meal out there! And all those fats are perfect for a keto diet too.
Creamy chicken spaghetti bake is ideal for lunch or dinner. It can be prepared in less than one hour, and this particular recipe makes four servings. If you're in the mood for yummy comfort food, then this is the meal for you! Plus, your home is sure to smell delicious and inviting which is always a perk of cooking for yourself instead of going out.
Don't waste another minute looking for a low carb recipe to add to your weekly menu! You will absolutely love this creamy chicken spaghetti bake. Cook up your own batch and enjoy a cozy night in!
