Keto Creamy Chicken Piccata [with Roasted Asparagus]

This recipe marries the classic flavors of Italian cuisine with the simplicity of a ketogenic diet. Featuring tender boneless, skinless chicken breasts coated in a golden almond flour crust and served with crisp-tender asparagus, this recipe is a symphony of flavors and textures that will delight your taste buds. Finished with a luscious creamy sauce infused with tangy lemon and briny capers, this dish is a perfect balance of elegance and ease, making it ideal for both weeknight dinners and special occasions.

If you want to reduce the carb counts of the recipe, you can opt to use red onion instead of shallot, or simply leave the shallot out. You can also optionally skip the breading of the chicken, but I find that it really is worth the extra carbs in the recipe. If you’re on the opposite end of the spectrum, you can use white wine instead of the chicken stock in the piccata sauce for a more traditional taste! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
