    We had this for dinner last night. So delicious and easy to make. I did amp up the green beans and added some bacon, cooked the beans in the grease from the bacon too. Beautiful crisp beans, salty bacon bits with a spicy chicken breast. We used Mrs. Dash garlic and herb seasonings, zero carbs for the seasoning.

    Super easy and delicious supper. I like that you can adjust the servings on the recipe. Sometimes I feed my family what I'm having, sometimes not. Thank you #dietdoctor.

    Some people think green beans are no good for keto because they're legumes?....x

    Where do you find your rotisserie chicken?

    Many grocery stores carry them pre-cooked in the deli section.

    I have adjusted the recipe to show 2 servings. The recipe shows we're to eat 1 lb of chicken between the two of us. Is that correct? Or is that 1 lb for dinner and lunch the next day? Serving sizes are confusing...I need some clarity?

    Hi Tammy, I have asked the recipe team for assistance with this recipe. For 2 people, you could cook 2 skin on chicken breasts or thighs.

    What can I substitute the butter for, for a non-dairy option? Is margarine comparable?

    Hi Sarah, margarine would not be a great substitute as it is heavily processed. In our dairy-free collection you can find some alternatives listed in the opening text! https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/recipes/dairy-free.

    Some who are dairy-free find that including butter is okay as it only contains trace amounts of milk protein and sugar. Those who cannot or chose not to include butter may substitute ghee or coconut/olive oil for instance. Hope this helps!

    Do you just eat the butter raw? half a stick of butter for each serving?

    If you put it on the green beans, especially if it's at room temperature, it will melt! No need to eat raw butter.

    Hi Jose! Yes, you can do that if that is your only option. Fresh is always best for taste and less chance for additives!

    If you don't wish to add that much butter to your plate for the serving, you can easily use less. The very low carbs and the protein are the important components of this dish.

    This is a boneless, skinless chicken breast, but you can use any cut of chicken you prefer. A thigh would have a little less protein and more fat.

    I love the recipes simple and easy to prepare.
    Sadly I don't like butter or cream never use them in cooking.
    Can I substitute olive oil and cheese? Angela

    The substitutes may depend on the recipe. In this case, you could fry in olive oil and top the green beans with cheese if that suits your preferences!

    Hi. Just having a hard time understanding your nutritional values for each recipe. For example, the Keto chicken and green beans plate says 4g carbs, 75g protein and 36g of fat. That is when it's select to 1 serving size. When i click 2 or 3 serving sizes the numbers stay the same. So what do those numbers represent?? There's not 75g of protein in 220g of chicken and some green beans. Very confused.
