EASY KETO CASHEW CHICKEN

 This Keto Cashew Chicken is a low carb version of a classic Chinese takeout favorite! A super easy (and healthy), one-skillet meal that’s the perfect busy weeknight meal!

Along with meal prepping lunches for the week, I also keep a few favorite keto dinner recipes on heavy rotation. This alleviates the stress of coming up with dinner every night of the week and it ensures that everyone will actually like what I made.
