I’ve got a few other reasons that you’ll love this Keto Chicken & Chorizo Sheet Pan Dinner…
Times are tough, and this low carb sheet pan dinner is pretty budget friendly. Chicken thighs and a few links of fresh chorizo won’t break the bank, and you can substitute drumsticks to make it even cheaper.
The zucchini and cherry tomatoes are also inexpensive and easy to find year round in pretty much every major grocery store – so it’s very accessible.
I even used dried herbs instead of fresh in this Keto chicken & chorizo sheet pan recipe, which keeps costs down and avoids waste. 🙌🏻
You might be wondering…
What is Chorizo?
Chorizo is a spicy sausage typically made with pork. There are two popular styles of Chorizo – Mexican and Spanish – and they are flavored differently. Mexican has vinegar in it and is sold in raw links. Spanish contains paprika and is usually sold smoked.
Fun fact, Honduras also has several different types of chorizo, and there is always a link of the most popular version served on the plate of a typical Honduran breakfast platter.
It’s some of the best chorizo I’ve ever had, but I digress…
For this Keto Chicken & Chorizo Sheet Pan Meal, you want to look for a raw, Mexican-style chorizo in link format. It’s sold in most grocery stores, but if you can’t find it where you are, you can sub in almost any sausage with good results.
