Creating recipes that are low carb are easier than you think. This is a one skillet recipe that is easy to clean up and cooks on top of the oven and then inside to bake.
Just the kind of meal that busy moms and families are looking for. I will be adding steamed broccoli and cauliflower as a low carb side dish.

Give your recipe extra color
You will get a very colorful dish by using multi-colored cherry tomatoes and adding some fresh herbs on top. (Use tomatoes sparingly as they aren’t really keto-friendly, but they add lots of color and interest to the dish.)
The red pepper flakes give it a little kick while the melted mozzarella cheese adds a smooth taste. This recipe is big on flavor and so easy to make.
