in Recipes, Dinner, Meal Italian keto chicken parmesan with cabbage pasta
A simple, creamy chicken parmesan dinner with the added tang of sundried and regular tomatoes. It works just as well for regular weekdays meals as it does for a festive weekend get-together. Serve it on top of butter-fried cabbage strips in place of pasta. A true keto success!

There is a drop down menu above each of our recipes that allows you to change the number of servings you're making.
To serve, distribute cabbage on the plates. Add the spinach to the creamy chicken skillet and stir. Then top the creamy chicken sauce over the cabbage."
There is not a good substitute for the cabbage in this recipe.
If you need 2 total servings; 1 for 1 person for dinner + 1 for 1 person for lunch, then setting it to 2 servings is right. Yes, 400g chicken.
Yes, unless otherwise specified, recipes always list the raw weight of the meat.

Maybe someone with the same problem might find it helpful.
And it would be great if this diet considered not only diabetes but IBS too, it's so hard to find recipes for this diagnosis.
My sauce thickened too much but happily I had decided to soak my dried tomatoes before cooking (the recipe was silent on the matter of whether to do this or not and mine were quite old and very dry) so I added the tomato water to let the sauce down a bit.
I felt that the dish lacked some herbs - might add Oregano or Basil when I make it again.
That will vary based on how much your dish cooked down while baking. We list number of servings as it is the most accurate way to account for the carb count for the dish.
I mean, on a general rule how do I substitute something with something else.
Also If for example the nutritional value of cabbage is higher of cauliflower meaning I can use more of cauliflower ..for instance, then shall I adjust the quantity in weight to reach that?
That's a great question. You can use our visual guides to get a general idea of how different foods stack up against each other.

Excellent substitution!
I have my standard measuring cups.
Please someone help me figure out what’s best in how to calculate when a recipe called for fifths of something?
Like 3/5 lb chicken
Or 2/5 c heavy cream.. this recipe or another one I also cooked said this toning and it was hard for me to figure out?
Sometimes scaling a recipe up or down results in awkward measurement.
3/5 lb is 9.6 oz (16 oz / 5 * 3)
2/5 cup is 3.2 oz (8 oz / 5 * 3)

This recipe makes 4 servings. We recommend eating to hunger, so start with one serving. If you're still hungry, you can eat more as needed. We suggest adding a little more fat for satiety instead of adding more carbs. If you're keto, you'll want to keep your carbs at 20 or fewer per day.
