I usually take a minute to explain what makes each recipe on this site fall into the dietary categories so my readers a better idea of what each diet is about. Keto is a diet focused on keeping the body in a state of ketosis. In this state, the body starts to burn fat for fuel. You do this by consuming under a certain number of carbs per day, typically 20G or less. Chicken breast have 0 carbs. Most people consider Salsa to be keto. However, we are using a full cup in this dish, so you need to be careful with the brand you use. I used Tostitos, which is 1 net gram of carbs per serving. But a serving is 2 tablespoons, which would be 8 net grams of carbs per cup. But that’s for the entire dish. If you are going to break it up into multiple servings, or meals you would be fine. However, if you are still concerned, it’s still too many net carbs use a Keto-friendly Salsa.
Both Whole 30 and Paleo diets focus on eating whole foods that are minimally processed, avoiding any inflammatory ingredients, like gluten, grains, dairy, and legumes. Since this dish is just chicken and salsa both of those fall into the approved foods category. As with all Paleo & Whole 30 dishes you want to make sure you choose high quality, minimally processed ingredients. Clean eating is about quality not necessarily quantity. So make sure you use high quality chicken brand you can trust.
