Grilled Keto Bacon Wrapped Chicken

We recently traveled out of the country to visit family. That month-long vacation consisted of bingeing on food — everywhere we went, we ate. Just imagine how much weight we’ve gained! So, when we came back, I decided to start the Keto diet because I have heard great reviews about how effective it is. One of the first recipes I made was this Keto Bacon Wrapped Chicken. Now, this is a good reason to eat bacon. However, choose uncured bacon instead of the cured ones for a healthier option.

What’s So Special About Keto Bacon Wrapped Chicken?

Our family loves bacon, so I searched for recipes with bacon. Good thing I found this delicious Keto bacon wrapped chicken recipe. It’s surprising that bacon is accepted in the Keto diet. Based on research, high fat meat is a staple in the Keto diet and bacon is acceptable so long as it is unprocessed and sugar-free. However, before starting any diet, make sure to check with a medical professional to make sure it is safe for you. Remember, the goal is to become healthier while losing weight.

As I was preparing the recipe, my son asked, “I thought you were going on a diet?” He saw all the bacon and wondered. So, I gave him a simple explanation of how bacon is okay with the Keto diet. He said that he is willing to try out the diet if we are gonna have bacon everyday LOL!

I highly recommend this Keto Bacon Wrapped Chicken! Try it out and let us know in the comments how it went. Don’t forget to share this recipe with your friends, too!
