List of Keto Chicken Dinner Recipes
I have separated into cooking method: slow-cooker, oven recipes, stove-top recipes.
Though please note that some of the recipes require two different cooking methods. Such as searing in a pan before putting into the slow cooker.
Slow Cooker Keto Chicken Recipes
It is so great to come home and have dinner ready for you.
That is a great luxury that crockpots (slow cookers) can provide.
Check out these slow cooker chicken dinner recipes that are sure please you and your family (even the non-Keto family members!).

3) Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Soup
Buffalo chicken wings MEET soup.
This keto chicken dinner is prepared in the slow cooker and aims to bring the spicy taste of buffalo chicken wings to a soup.
It is a “dump” recipe so you don’t have to brown or sear the chicken before throwing it into the slow cooker.
After cooking for several hours there are some steps required and things to add, but they aren’t time-consuming.

Here is a sweet tasting keto chicken recipe with an Eastern flare thanks to “no sugar added” mandarin orange slices.
This recipe does call for searing before the chicken is added to the slow-cooker, so it isn’t a “slow cooker dump” recipe but reading the comments from all the people on the website, it’s worth it.
