Keto Chicken & Creamy Dill Sauce – Dairy Free

This super easy keto chicken & creamy dill sauce is perfect for busy weeknights, or keto meal prep for lunches all week! It’s also dairy free, Paleo, and even Whole 30 compliant! Easy, healthy AND delicious = WINNING. ?

While the chicken is very tasty, it’s the low carb creamy dill sauce that is the star here – it’s so good you’ll want to put it on everything! Fish, shrimp, veggies, salad dressing – this keto creamy dill sauce does it all!

I wanted to keep this keto chicken & creamy dill sauce recipe dairy free and squeaky clean for a new keto meal plan I’m working on (stay tuned, but meanwhile you can use any of these free keto meal plans already here on the site) and also for my keto Whole 30 peeps out there.

If I’m being honest, dill is my least favorite herb. It’s OK, but there isn’t a lot that pairs well with it other than pickles, chicken, and salmon – and it dominates everything else with its aggressive flavor – at least to me. I recently decided that I wasn’t giving dill a fair shake, so I picked some up last week and set to work making a recipe for you dill fans.

I’m thrilled to say that this keto creamy dill sauce has given me a new appreciation for dill. So if you weren’t team dill before, give this sauce a try – it might win you over like it did me! And my guys both liked it too – so it passed the picky family members test! ?

To keep this keto dill sauce dairy free but also make it creamy, I used a combination of mashed avocado and mayonnaise for the base. Some lemon, capers, white vinegar (apple cider vinegar would also work) helped give this keto dill sauce the tanginess that you’d get in a traditional dill sauce made with sour cream.

I’m not just saying this when I tell you that this easy keto chicken & creamy dill sauce is going in our regular rotation. And I don’t repeat a lot of recipes since I’m always working on new ones – so that’s a big dill in our house. (see what I did there? Tee hee.)

Mr. Hungry has already requested this keto chicken & creamy dill sauce once since I made it last, and because it’s so easy to pack up for lunches and tastes great cold – especially salad style – it’s just too good of a recipe not to make at least a few more times before we move on to something else!

I hope your tribe will enjoy it as much as we have – I promise it’s dill-icious! (sorry. had to.)  ?
