10 Easy Keto Dinner Meals for Busy Weeknights

[@maggiemalone5957]

I've just recently discovered you, and I'm a fan already. I'm crazy about your video style, and the way you leave out all the idle chatter, so I'm sharing your videos with all my friends who are of the same mind frame. Thank you for being here.

[@RuledMe]

That means so much - thank you!

[@rachelthompson8689]

Exactly! I seek out the videos with no talking lol

[@sherylboyle939]

Hi! When my family makes eggroll in a bowl, we also add bean sprouts at the last few minutes for an additional crunch, definitely a fav!

[@fionagarciac]

I love the way the song changes for every new recipe. I’m loving this keto chanel thank you 🙌

[@bettiblanchard873]

Twist on the enchiladas, instead of using ham, use chicken and stuff with sauted peppers, onions, mushrooms, add monterey jack. top the same. if you want more protein, add chicken to the sauted vegs. yummm

[@alexiskiri9693]

Love this idea. I also will try a spinach enchilada with white sauce using sliced chicken, or even a shrimp with green sauce. I think the sliced chicken or turkey would be lighter in taste then the ham. Thank you for this.

I've done it with mr. tortilla 1carb tortilla's...it was a moment!

[@gabrielavargas1600]

These recipes are fabulous. I am doing one a week but I have baked the chicken casserole 3 times and every time my guests just love it! My family as well. Thank you for sharing these great yummy recipes.

[@RuledMe]

Thanks so much! Really happy to hear you guys have been enjoying it, and it's a huge compliment that you've made the casserole 3 times for guests ❤

[@cbpotts]

I just made this for my husband and myself and it was outstanding.if I did anything different, and there’s really no need to do that, I’d use a little less onion and save myself some carbs. This meal is definitely going in our rotation. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe.

[@RuledMe]

Which one did you make? Glad to hear you guys enjoyed it though!

@@RuledMe Sorry about that! I made the Philly cheesesteak skillet. I’m already looking forward to having the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. 😁

I love that you included an Italian dish. I'm really thinking of going on a Keto diet, and the one thing that will be hardest for me is giving up pasta. Loved all of the dishes though. Maybe going Keto really won't be so bad after all.

You are a godsend!! So thankful to have found you! I've just started eating Keto and so far I am loving it! I'm not 100% Keto in everything I eat as I am just starting to learn but I love the concept! It's so easy. Not much has really changed from what I normally eat. I'm not really missing out on anything! The foods are absolutely delish! Even my husband loves it! Got so many compliments from him! I instantly subscribed to your page! I've already made a philly cheesesteak recipe and it was good, but I think I'm gonna love yours even more. This one has more veggies and seems like it would be more moist with adding the beef broth! Can't wait to try them all!

[@RuledMe]

Thank you so much! Glad to hear it's helping you guys transition over to keto. I hope you enjoy the other recipes just as much 😊

[@vickivickers3291]

Something you could add to the eggroll dish are bean sprouts. Low in carbs and give more authentic taste of eggroll. Bean sprouts are a forgotten food it seems. I buy the canned and use for egg foo young recipe.

Those first two chicken recipes I make each at least twice a week now and have plenty of leftovers for lunches and snacks. Boneless skinless chicken thighs are my favorite keto meat since the fat/protein ratio makes it easier for the macros. and they're cheap

[@charleshodgdon6168]

I currently have only watched the Easy Chicken Casserole. Why did you use butter as your only fat/oil for a medium to high heat cooking? The smoke point of butter is 302 and some say as low as 250. I would use avocado oil plus butter for flavor and heat protection of the oil.

[@RuledMe]

Feel free to use avocado oil if you prefer. When you have food in the pan as well, the smoke point likely won't be reached that easily as the heat will dissipate as moisture is being released from the chicken. The chicken fat will also mix with the butter and change the smoke point of the fats.

[@donnasr1799]

I also add some red pepper flakes to my keto egg roll in a bowl.

[@Aceinthehole1179]

Just asking? How can you eat sun dried tomatoes 🍅? Are they not sweetened with sugar? I’m just asking I’m trying to figure this out.

[@RuledMe]

Generally they aren't. I suppose it depends on the brand you buy but you can usually find them without added sugar. They are higher in carbs, but when used in moderation they can still fit into keto. Since they are concentrated flavor, a little goes a long way.

[@jayashreepillai4690]

[@t.j.7908]

Hi. I wanted to ask: I subscribed to your custom meal app, are there all the recipes that there are on youtube, i didn't find them and really loved some of those on youtube?

[@RuledMe]

Yes, all of the recipes from KZbin, the website, and around 600 more are inside of the meal planner. The meal planner scales meals to fit your specific set of macros, though, and if a meal can't fit into your macros then it won't be shown to you. In your case, the meal you want either can't fit into your needed macros for that meal or your preferences are blocking it from being displayed (for example if you have time limits selected).

@@t.j.7908 Sure thing - if you have any other questions, feel free to e-mail me directly or use the 'Need Help?' button in the app (I answer all of those, too). I don't always see KZbin comments especially when they're nested as replies.

Is soy sauce a keto ingredient because it is made of soy beans and it is inflammatory? Should it be coco aminos right?

[@RuledMe]

Soy is low-carb so can be eaten within ketogenic limitations. If you avoid soy for personal reasons, you're welcome to use coconut aminos instead. Including a small amount of soy in your diet is likely not going to have any long-term negative effects, so I don't consider it something you need to avoid.

[@jennifersmith2303]

I’m not a fan of the sweet taste of coconut aminos so I use Bragg’s liquid aminos. Very similar in taste to soy sauce and less than 1 carb per serving.

these are all keto friendly? no carbs at all?

[@RuledMe]

Yes they're all keto-friendly. Keto isn't zero carb, it's typically a limit of around 25g net carbs per day. All of these meals fall within those restrictions. We have full nutrition breakdowns of each recipe on the website (linked in the description).

[@corneliamajor2107]

Are we using any other cuts of chicken other than thighs?

[@RuledMe]

You can but generally chicken thighs will be best since they are a much fattier cut of meat. We do have recipes with breast in, but they usually have to be balanced with a lot of added fats.

[@GM-hi6bd]

We add water chestnuts !

[@lyricberlin]

how well do these reheat in the microwave?

[@RuledMe]

I always recommend reheating in the oven, but they will do okay in the microwave, too. Some of them I'd personally eat cold, but if reheating in the microwave I'd suggest doing double the time you usually would but with half the power. It generally will reheat a bit more evenly and without that microwaved taste that can sometimes happen.

[@dawnduggan3778]

How many servings are these meals for please

[@RuledMe]

If you visit the written version (linked in the description), you'll find the nutritional info and generalized serving sizes. You should always make your serving size based off of your own macros though.

[@WrathChild-NZ]

That Easy chicken casserole, my sauce ends up being quite watery after its cooked, is that normal? also the cheese just melts through everything and ends up mixing with the sauce, rather than a nice cheese layer on top. any tips? thanks!

[@RuledMe]

Likely the cauliflower is releasing a lot of water. You can par-cook the cauliflower and that can help reduce the amount of water if you are finding it to be quite watery. That will likely help keep the cheese in place as well.

[@WrathChild-NZ]

@@RuledMe thanks!

Why would they not be allowed? They are a low-carb fruit, so they can be eaten in moderation. You have to be mindful of how much is being used, but you can definitely use them for flavor/sauces. It's the same as any other low-carb fruit/vegetable.

sesame oil and soy sauce.. come on. bye

[@RuledMe]

Not sure what you have a problem with there? If you don't want to use soy sauce, use coconut aminos. If you don't want to use sesame oil, use avocado oil? If you like the look of a recipe and don't like 1 singular ingredient, it's not that hard to think of a replacement. Though not exactly sure why you'd be avoiding tiny amounts of soy sauce or sesame oil to begin with.
