We used a low carb pasta alternative for this dish for a hearty and rich yet low carb meal! It's full of creamy cheese, seared chicken thighs, and plenty of veggies. You may be able to get your kids to eat more vegetables because of this easy weeknight dinner.

Recipe Notes:

Seasoning: Everything is sort of to taste in this recipe, just make sure you season your chicken thighs very well. We used salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Adjust the seasonings again right before you top the dish with the remaining cheese. The cheese will add salt to the sauce. If you feel it needs more, add it then.

Vegetables: You could use whatever vegetables your heart desires! During the time of quarantine, when we reworked this recipe, we had a lot of frozen veggies, so we opted to use spinach, broccoli, tomatoes, mushrooms, and onion. The choice is yours. Just be aware that different vegetables will affect the carb count and the flavor. You may need to prepare the vegetables differently if you decide to use different ones.
