CHICKEN:
- Chicken is used to prepare the foundation of the recipe. It will add protein and good fat to the dish. You can also use the turkey, beef, & chicken thighs to add a different taste.
COTTAGE CHEESE:
- It will add a light, tangy taste and creaminess to the lasagna and also enhance the protein in the dish. It will make the dish light but still feel indulgent. You can also use the ricotta cheese to make it smoother, or you can mix the cream cheese with heavy cream instead.
KETO TORTILLAS:
- Use the keto tortillas instead of real pasta sheets to keep the dish low in carbs. Use the almond or coconut flour tortillas to keep it on a keto diet.
SWEET CHILI SAUCE:
- It will add the real firecracker taste. It is best to use the keto variety, which contains sweeteners like Erythritol or stevia.
KETO MARINARA SAUCE:
- It will add the indulgent tomato foundation along with Italian taste to keep the carbs minimal. The amount of spice and creaminess must be balanced. You might also prepare the sauce at your home to keep the carbs in balance.
HEAVY CREAM:
- It will give the meal a silky, decadent flavor. It will bind the sauce and balance the spicy firecracker taste. You can also use the coconut cream or the mixture of almond milk & cream cheese instead for this purpose.
