If you like, you can use chicken breast cut in cubes and the meat can be marinated with any sauce you have on hand. It can be a lemon, olive oil base marinade, or balsamic, or low carb sauce of your preference.
The pesto sauce is best made from home. It’s actually super easy. Here’s the pesto sauce recipe you can try!
If you are a shrimp lover, this recipe is definitely for you. The colors and textures as well as the amazing taste will please everyone in the family.
The vegetables can also be substituted, using asparagus, zucchini, broccoli any low carb of your preference.
If you use broccoli, don’t add the pan to the oven for the first 15 minutes as this will overcook it. Add it all at the same time and take it to the oven for only 10-15 mins.
