    I’ve been following the Keto diet for over a year now and have been trying to get my family more on board by making recipes they can enjoy also. This Keto Cilantro Lime Chicken recipe was a great start of new recipes make for the new year. The combination of cilantro and lime adds a bit of flavor to plain chicken that’s not over powering. Serve it over cauliflower rice for the perfect keto dish!

    This post is sponsored by Perdue Farms. All opinions are my own.

    Keto Cilantro Lime Chicken

    Ingredients for Keto Cilantro Lime Chicken

    2 lbs Chicken – Breasts or Tenderloins
    3 tbsp Fresh Cilantro, chopped
    ½ tsp Salt
    ¼ Black Pepper
    Lime Zest from 1 Lime
    ¼ cup Lime Juice
    ½ tsp Lakanto Monkfruit Classic
    2 tbsp Olive Oil

    Directions for Keto Cilantro Lime Chicken

    Place a piece of saran wrap on counter and place chicken on top of saran wrap. Place another piece of saran wrap on top of the pieces of chicken and beat with a meat tenderizer until they are flat. This will help soak up the marinade.

    In a bowl mix cilantro, salt, pepper, lime zest, lime juice, Lakanto Monkfruit Classic and olive oil for the marinade.

    Add the chicken to a zip lock bag and pour marinade in the bag and seal. Work the marinade into the chicken while in the bag and place in the fridge for up to 1 hour. 

    After an hour, take the chicken out of the fridge and place on the grill over medium heat. We like to use the Power Smokeless Grill as you can use it indoors.

    Cook thoroughly on each side.

    Ingredients for Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice

    Cauliflower Rice in the Microwave Bag (found in the frozen veggies aisle)
    1 tbsp Olive Oil
    1 tsp Garlic Powder
    ½ tsp Salt
    ¼ tsp Black Pepper
    ⅓ cup Fresh Cilantro, chopped
    ½ tsp Onion Powder
    2 tbsp Lime Juice

    Directions for Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice

    Microwave the cauliflower rice.

    In a bowl mix olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, fresh cilantro, onion powder and lime juice.

    Add to the mixture to the cauliflower rice and serve with cilantro lime chicken.
