My Creamy Keto Chicken and Asparagus Skillet is a simple recipe for those following a Keto diet, and those who just love chicken and asparagus!

The chicken and the asparagus are cooked in the same pot, and that makes this recipe a great option for a weeknight meal.

This recipe can be adapted to those not following a keto diet by serving the chicken with a little pasta or rice.

    That chicken looks so creamy delicious! I'd have to swap beans for the asparagus because I can't stand it. But well worth it to try this delicious dish.

      This is a low carb option. It is higher in fat, but when in moderation it can be an option.
