Tender chicken soaked in a creamy and spicy sauce makes the perfect comfort food. Unfortunately, you’ll have to skip the naan but be adventurous and try a side of cauliflower rice, zoodles or even roasted squash as your side dish.

Zoodles are a great alternative to pasta. Two cups of pasta has about 90 grams of carbs and zucchini noodles only have 12 grams of carbs. Spaghetti squash is also a great alternative to pasta.

Low carb pad thai is anything but boring. Replace the pasta for zoodles to make this dish low carb but still very delicious. The tangy sauce, chicken, eggs and crunchy peanuts have what it takes to make this recipe a weekly go-to meal.
