Hi love all your recipes! But since when do you not include the nutritional values?? I May be missing something but I feel like that is very important while following the low carb life style. : )
Peace Love and Low Carb says
Hi Kayla, There are a lot of great sites for figuring out nutritional info - myfitnesspal, fatsecret etc. 🙂
Dianne says
wow! Not happy with someone doing the work of getting the recipe, but have the audacity to complain that there is no nutritional value? Amazing.
Kayno says
A lot of people will go out of their way to find something to moan about. People are ridiculous.
Amy says
Made this last night... DELICIOUS and EASY! This is a great recipe that will be part of the regular rotation from now on.
Amy says
Do you carb cycle? If you do, is this a high carb or low carb day recipe? I am just starting carb cycling and am trying to figure it all out. I am looking for recipes and making my shopping list for my trip to the grocery store this morning.
Steph says
Any recommendations on a side dish to serve with this chicken??
Peace Love and Low Carb says
I just so happen to have an entire section of side dishes 🙂 - https://peaceloveandlowcarb.com/category/side-dishes
JAMIE says
I agree with Kayla. Nutritional information is pretty key and not having it available makes it discouraging to try. Who is going to look up every ingredient for every recipe? And probably end up getting it wrong blowing their carb count or caloric count. It would be really nice if these came with that info which is provided by other bloggers with similar recipes. Just a thought. 🙂
Peace Love and Low Carb says
Jamie, the nutritional analysis is on 90% of the recipes on this website. You say "Who is going to look up every ingredient for every recipe?" Yet that is exactly what you are asking me to do. Websites like fatsecret.com or myfitnesspal.com are great sites for figuring out your macros.
Midge says
I am so happy that you responded the way that you did. I am doing paleo and can tell looking at the recipe whether or not it will work. I believe some people are just lazy and want everything done for them.
Tracey says
These is my best new find this week, thank you. I have to say it's hilarious how I see commenters not satisfied alone with the free recipes, pics, ideas, and access - complaining that the calorie counts aren't included, so 'they might not try them'. Ladies , you really should love on this stuff, because your next generation family members may not have this type of free unlimited access to anything.
Peace Love and Low Carb says
Thank you!!
Andrea Johnson says
Can't wait to try this recipe! It appears from the pic you're using boneless skinless chicken breast, I'm afraid it may dry out :-/ Have you tried with boneless, skinless thighs or bone in, skin on breast. And can you give me the nutritional info?? Haha, jk! Thanks for the wonderful recipes!! 😉
Ally says
By my carb count it's just under 10 carbs total per serving if you divide it into 4 servings, but that may vary with different brands of groceries 😀
Kathy Patty says
I made this last week, it was so good I made another batch today. At work, I get compliments on how good it smells, but no, I"m not sharing it with anyone. They can make their own. 😉
Stephanie says
How spicy is it? I love all things spicy, but I'm trying to appease my mom as well, who does not.
Ginger says
I make this with Rotel diced tomatoes and chiles, and I use the mild to keep it from being too spicy because my kids think everything is too spicy, haha!
William Muncy says
This sounds so good would like to try this soon. Can a packaged taco seasoning be used? if so how much should I use?
jodie says
I have the same question. Did you get an answer or make a guess when you cooked it?
amym says
I made this for dinner last night and used 3 pounds of chicken. It was devoured. .
Ericka says
Did you by chance alter the amount of anything, or did you keep everything the same? I have close to 3 pounds and I also purchased a taco spice packet.. any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Michelle says
I made this today, really yummy! I wonder if I used too much of the taco seasoning, though. I made the entire batch and threw it in, but my final product looks sooo much darker than the picture! Was I just supposed to use a serving like I would have for taco meat? Thanks!
Wendy says
Oh this sounds great, I usually make mine with just salsa and chicken never thought of adding the sour cream can't wait to make it again now.
Also thank you for your site, I use my fitness pal to figure out my macros on all my recipes because your ingredients may be a little different than my ingredients and if one is taking the time to live a healthy low carb life figuring out your own nutritional values is just another part of the process imo 🙂
Julia Russell says
Do you drain the tomatoes or use the juice? I am sure it is delicious either way!...Thank you for all of your hard work on this website...Your t-shirts are adorable too!!
Peace Love and Low Carb says
Just add in the whole can 🙂
Ann says
I've made something similar but never included dairy (sour cream, yogurt, etc). I always thought the long cooking time would make the dairy inedible. Based on your reviews I am looking forward to trying this! We like Mexican-inspired meals so I think I might shred the chicken and use it as a filling for enchiladas using corn tortillas. We trend toward eating low carb but indulge once in a while. I think this would be awesome for that! (has anyone tried this using chicken thighs? I know that adds more fat. Just wondering. Thanks!!)
Peace Love and Low Carb says
I think it would still be just as good, if not better with chicken thighs. Added bonus that you can usually get them for cheaper too. Win/win!
Tammy says
I made this the other day and it is SO good. The first meal we had it over a little rice. It was thin, but perhaps because I used frozen chicken breasts. The taste is marvelous. A little bit of heat to it, but not 'hot'. I shredded the chicken up for the next meal(there are only 2 of us, so we got several meals out of one batch)and used it in low carb tortillas. SO good! I did use low sodium store bought taco seasoning, and used just a couple of teaspoons. I'll be making this recipe at least once a month. Thank you Kyndra!
Peace Love and Low Carb says
So happy you all enjoyed it. Thank you so much for taking the time to come back and let me know.
Tammy D says
This looks so great and I'm excited to try it! I've already made my taco seasoning but I'm a little unclear on how much to use in this recipe. Do I use the entire "making" of the taco seasoning recipe as stated in the chicken recipe or just the 2 TBLs/per pound of meat as noted in the seasoning recipe? Thanks!
Peace Love and Low Carb says
The seasoning recipes is talking about mixing it with ground meat for tacos. For this recipe, you use the entire batch
Dawn Ward says
I haven't tried this recipe yet but can't wait to do so! I just wanted to pop on and say how EXTREMELY grateful I am for your site and your willingness to share your recipes with us. I am trying to adopt a lower-carb lifestyle, and as someone who gets easily overwhelmed when it comes to meal planning and cooking, your site is an invaluable resource! Thank you so much!
Tamara says
Wondering if it could be cooked on high for less time? Anyone tried? I got started late!
Patti says
What about the sauce curddling ? Any ideas on how to prevent that or reduce that?
Linette Arnold says
This smelled incredible and the flavors couldn't be beat! Two large chicken breasts could have cooked in 5 hours on low. I should have mixed all the wet ingredients together as the sour cream would have melted in better. I just plopped it on top and had to stir it around. Mixed in Zanthum Gum to thicken. Probably wouldn't add the chicken broth next time. A definite winner!!!
