We all love spicy food so I put extra jalapeno peppers in ours. However, if you have kids or family members that don’t like the extra heat, just reduce the amount of jalapeno’s. See more Keto chicken recipes.

How do you quickly shred chicken?

I use a hand mixer to shred the chicken faster. It is so easy and one of my best time saving kitchen tips!

If you are not shredding your chicken this way, you are missing out. It can be done in a fraction of the time by doing it by hand.

Plus, I love the texture of the chicken when you use the hand mixer.

Tips and Variations:

• I also like using my Homemade Taco Seasoning Mix . I like making a big batch of this taco seasoning as I can use it on many recipes.
  
  It is so much better than the package stuff and I know what exactly is in the seasoning.
• Use ground Beef instead of chicken. If you are wanting to up your fats, consider using ground beef. Just make sure to brown and drain the beef first.
• You can make this dairy free my using a dairy free substitute for the cream cheese and the cheddar cheese.

Still trying to understand this Keto diet?

First of all, I know it can seem overwhelming initially. However, once you understand the Keto lifestyle it is very simple.

There is a great book for beginners here that you might want to pick up. It is a really great resource to help get you started on this Keto journey. I even spotted the Keto Crock Pot Cookbook.

It’s a lot to take in but basically the ketogenic diet is a diet high in fat with healthy fats for weight loss. The diet calls for a lot of nut butters, peanut butter and low or no net carb snacks called fat bombs.

You will also want to keep things sugar free. Oils like coconut oil, olive oil and mct oil are used.

A lot of recipes call for cheese or cream cheese. Almond flour or pork rinds can be used for a coating or batter that fits into the ketogenic diet.

Once you get used to this diet, many report that it becomes a lifestyle and they really like it.

Plus, weight loss is fairly easy while also filling full and satisfied. This is a key component as to why it works for so many.

If you want to lose weight, this is a great plan to try.  With so many low carb recipes,  it will be easy to stay on track with the ketogenic diet.
