Keto One-Pot Chicken Parmesan Pasta is an Italian dish. This dish is modified with keto alternatives by using low-carb pasta and no-sugar components. It contains tomatoes, chicken, Shirataki pasta, garlic, cheese, and seasoning. All of these ingredients are safe for this diet, and we easily found them in grocery stores. We only require thirty minutes to prepare this recipe; it’s perfect to prepare on weekdays. This recipe contains two different types of cheese so it is not good for dairy-intolerant people. Use the dairy-free cheese if required. This pasta is not good for long-term storage, as its texture will be ruined in the freezer. We only store this Keto One-Pot Chicken Parmesan Pasta in fridge for some time. It is loaded with proteins, with 38 g of protein present in one serving of this delicious dish.

INGREDIENT NOTES:
CHICKEN:
- Chicken provides the lean protein content in the dish. I use chicken breast to prepare this recipe. Use the chicken thighs as the alternative to provide more taste in this pasta.
SHIRATAKI PASTA:
- Shirataki pasta is used in the preparation of this recipe. It is prepared with konjac root so it has the lowest carb content. Properly wash and dry this pasta before use to remove the additional smell.
OLIVE OIL:
- It helps to prevent the sticking of chicken & brown it evenly. It provides the healthy fat content in the dish. Use the avocado oil instead if required.
GARLIC:
- Garlic will add the deep flavor and aroma to this pasta. Use the fresh garlic for this purpose but garlic powder also works.
CRUSHED TOMATOES:
- Use the crushed tomatoes to make the sauce base. Crush the tomatoes at home to avoid the additional sugar in this recipe.
CHICKEN BROTH:
- Chicken broth is added to prepare the sauce. It will boost the flavor and also help to thicken the consistency. Use the less salty broth so you can sprinkle the salt to suit your taste.
ITALIAN SEASONING:
- Italian seasoning provides the real flavor of this recipe. It is a mixture of all herbs. Use the oregano or basil instead if necessary.
CHILI FLAKES:
- Chili flakes add a slight heat, and they will also balance the rich taste. We can alter the quantity according to our spice tolerance level.
SALT & BLACK PEPPER:
- Salt and pepper are added to provide the flavor and slight spice content in the recipe. It is best to use the fresh pepper for a strong taste.
MOZZARELLA & PARMESAN CHEESE:
- Use the mozzarella & parmesan cheese to prepare this recipe. Mozzarella creates a creamy and starchy topping and parmesan adds the savory taste.
