Keto Lime & Coriander Chicken

I tweaked this easy really tasty recipe of Delia Smiths to make a Keto recipe that my husband and I could enjoy . I love it, tangy fresh and very easy and quick, I have found that since John went onto his Keto diet I spend my time looking at favourite recipes and seeing if I can adapt them, making me think more about balance. If you love lime like I do, you can always add more lime zest just keep it balanced though. This is one dish I never mind rushing in to cook, and for John he has it served with Cauliflower or Cauliflower rice and I have it with basmati rice, it is nice when we are sharing the same meal. I can honestly say that I changed a couple of things to make sure it stayed in his diet plan and it still tasted wonderful . A great spring and summer dish .

Hope you try it and enjoy it as much as we do, the Thai fish sauce is allowed because you only use such a small amount as a flavour into the meal 

Serves 2 very easy to double up for a supper for 4
