    Since I can't eat avocado, I was going to just sub another vegetable to eat the chicken with, but I realized that the nutrition numbers won't be the same. Do you know what the nutritional information is for one serving without the avocado?

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      Hi Beth, that would be a big change but I suppose you can serve it on top of lettuce or other greens. If you have our app, you can find this meal in the KetoDiet Blog or in the Custom Meals. From there you can clone the meal and then add or remove any ingredients to see the impact on the nutrition facts. I hope this helps!

    Really delicious!!

  3. Althea

    Can I sub out the chicken for shrimp? If so how much?

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      Yes, you definitely can - shrimp has similar nutrition facts and would work great in this recipe! 😊

  4. Darryn

    Awesome! I felt the thyme was a bit too much, but otherwise it was really good. I'll probably cut down on the thyme by half next time. I'm also playing around with a BBQ version of this.

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      Thank you Darryn, I'm glad you liked it!

    Do the carbs in this recipe come from the cream cheese?

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      Yes and also the avocado and spices.

  6. Jane Hewitt

    Absolutely loved this!!! Quick easy and really tasty!!

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      Thank you Jane!!

  7. sundevilgirl

    This recipe was great! I was worried that it was going to be too spicy, but it was not spicy at all. The flavor was really good! I used 1 large can of cooked chicken since that was all I had on hand and it turned out delicious! I will definitely make this again on days I don't really feel like cooking! Thanks for posting the recipe!

      Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! 😊
