INGREDIENTS NOTES:

CHICKEN FILLET:

• We can use the chicken fillet without the bone and skin of the thigh or breast but we have to adjust the cooking time accordingly as the breast is leaner and is ready in less time.

SHIRATAKI NOODLES:

• The Shirataki noodles are made with the konjac root and they are minimal in calories and almost completely carb-free. We have to properly rinse and dry these noodles and saute them before adding them to the crock pot to remove the inherent smell.

ZOODLES:

• These zoodles or zucchini noodles are good vegetable-based noodle alternative to traditional pasta. We can add the noodles several minutes before the end of cooking time to prevent the noodles from becoming mushy.

CHICKEN BROTH:

• We have to use the best quality chicken broth with less salt to make a rich and delicious base and manage the salt as we like.

CELERY:

• We add the celery in the chicken soup as it makes the soup tastier without the additional carbs and we have to avoid the carrots to keep the dish keto-friendly as it increases the carb content

SEASONING:

• We can add garlic, turmeric, thyme & rosemary to make the dish tasty as well as aromatic and turmeric is not only anti-inflammatory but also gives the golden hue.

CREAM CHEESE:

• This is optional but we can also add a full spoon of cream cheese or heavy cream to make the rich noodles.
