Who loves lazy keto? How about 4 lazy keto chicken meals from ONE roast chicken?
If you're not familiar with the term, I promise we are not literally calling you lazy. It's a variation of the ketogenic lifestyle that isn't strict on tracking calories, proteins, and fat macros. It's actually more hyper-focused on keeping carbs below 20g per day.
So, if you're just getting started or love meal planning, this post is perfect for you. Simply grab a rotisserie chicken from the store on your way home, and you can keto meal prep like a keto pro!
4 Lazy Keto Chicken Meals
4 lazy keto chicken meals from ONE roast chicken - learn how to meal prep like a keto pro.
Just grab 1 ready-cooked rotisserie chicken on the way home from work, and you can make 4 lazy keto chicken meals from it.
Food Safety: A cooked rotisserie chicken should be handled with clean hands and clean kitchen surfaces. It should be prepared, covered, cooled and stored according to the various methods and instructions that are shown here.
Using either your hand, shredders or two forks, begin to shred the meat away from the chicken carcass.
Now don't throw the bones from the carcass away, you can use this to make yummy beneficial bone broth - for virtually FREE!! (keto doesn't need to be expensive). Bone broth is jam-packed with nutrients and collagen.
Divide the shredded chicken into 4 equal portions - you are now ready to choose any of the 4 lazy keto chicken meals.
You can make all 4 or you can make a few of your favourite keto chicken recipes.
