KETO / LOW CARB Baked Ricotta Chicken with Pesto Green Beans. Green Chef #8

Описание: We have started getting the Keto selections off of Green Chef and we decided to start documenting the process of me cooking them and give an honest review of how they were. Hopefully some of you find this interesting and/or informative. I will include the recipe and the nutritional information for anyone who is curious. These recipes and the cards included with the meals are very easily found online.



This was the Baked Ricotta Chicken with Pesto Green Beans. It is Low carb, Keto, and gluten free.


Opinions:


Kore: This was fairly simple to make and I really like that aspect. Unfortunately I thought it was a little bland. I still really liked it and loved the green beans. I wouldn't mind eating this again!


Aides: This was very bland to me. It's unfortunate because I had high expectations, the picture looked very good and what isn't to like about baked chicken covered with ricotta and roasted red peppers? I'm not saying that it wasn't good, it just wasn't as flavorful as most of the recipes that we receive from green chef are. I'd eat it again in a heart beat but I won't order it again or attempt to remake it.
