14 Tender & Delicious Keto Chicken Recipes

Tired of the same old, same old keto chicken recipes you keep making even though you’re sick and tired of them?

There’s a lot of variety out there, you just have to look.

Thanks to this nifty little list of 14 keto chicken recipes, you don’t have to spend hours searching for the perfect recipe; I’ve already done that for you!

And you no longer have to eat the same old boring chicken recipes over and over again.

You’re welcome.

And because I’m feeling so generous, I’ll let you in on a little secret.

The trick to tender, juicy chicken is to brine or marinate the chicken before cooking it. But make sure you don’t forget this important ingredient: ACV!

Adding ~ 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar to the brine helps tenderize and add moisture to the chicken, resulting in the most tender and delicious chicken EVER!

Now let’s get to cooking, shall we?
