This perfect low carb chicken in pesto dish has amazing mediterranean flavor with Kalmata olives, Feta cheese and green pesto sauce you will not be able to stop eating. We also made a twist for those who don’t consume dairy we replaced the traditional heavy whipping cream with coconut cream (and of course remove the feta cheese). For a low carb meal we recommend this yummy chicken over cauliflower rice or plain rice if you’re not keeping a low carb diet.
