Substitutions and Ingredient tips
Once you’ve got your creamy mustard Keto sauce, you can really play around with the other ingredients to your liking.
Here’s some suggestions and different things I’ve tried in the past to mix up this Keto one tray bake for dinner.
Chicken Thighs: If you don’t like chicken thigh you could use breast but will have to watch them carefully as they dry out very quickly. I suggest using a meat thermometer. Pork also goes really well with creamy mustard sauces, and a fatty chop or loin would work perfectly.
Cauliflower and beans: I’ve made this with just about any Keto veg that’s been sitting in my fridge. While I always go back to the cauliflower and beans combo, I’ve also used broccoli, zucchini (a bit more watery but still yum!), pumpkin (higher carb but ok in moderation) and even thrown in some potatoes for the family.

Storage tips
- Fridge : Keto Creamy Mustard Chicken One Tray Bake is best made fresh but if you have leftovers, you can store them in the fridge for 2-3 days.
- Freezer: You can freeze the chicken but since the it has a creamy sauce it might separate when re-heating. Although it’s safe to eat and still tastes amazing, the cream texture wont be as creamy and smooth so I won’t recommend freezing it.
