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. : )
Hi Kayla, There are a lot of great sites for figuring out nutritional info – myfitnesspal, fatsecret etc. 🙂
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.
A lot of people will go out of their way to find something to moan about. People are ridiculous.
Made this last night… DELICIOUS and EASY! This is a great recipe that will be part of the regular rotation from now on.
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.
Don’t you just love reciepts with like five ingredients?! Sometimes it’s just nice with simplicity :). Thanks for the inspiration, the chicken looks delicious!
Any recommendations on a side dish to serve with this chicken??
I just so happen to have an entire section of side dishes 🙂 – https://peaceloveandlowcarb.com/category/side-dishes
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. 🙂
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.
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.
I hope this helps you. It’s 5g per serving and the recipe says 4-5 servings. I would say it’s 5g per breast!
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.
Thank you!!
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!! 😉
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 😀
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. 😉
How spicy is it? I love all things spicy, but I’m trying to appease my mom as well, who does not.
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!
This sounds so good would like to try this soon. Can a packaged taco seasoning be used? if so how much should I use?
I have the same question. Did you get an answer or make a guess when you cooked it?
I made this for dinner last night and used 3 pounds of chicken. It was devoured. .
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!
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 🙂
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!!
Just add in the whole can 🙂
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!!)
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!
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!
So happy you all enjoyed it. Thank you so much for taking the time to come back and let me know.
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!
The seasoning recipes is talking about mixing it with ground meat for tacos. For this recipe, you use the entire batch
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!
Wondering if it could be cooked on high for less time? Anyone tried? I got started late!
What about the sauce curddling ? Any ideas on how to prevent that or reduce that?
Thank you for your site and the amazing recipes. I just started on this journey May 27 and have lost 40 pounds effortlessly, in part because of the recipes and inspiration from you.. I will gladly look up nutrional info on every recipe, it helps me understand what I put in my mouth and makes me more accountable.
