I love slow cooker meals because I can put everything in the slow cooker in the morning and have a delicious slow cooker meal ready for me at the end of the day.

The Keto Slow Cooker Chicken Saag is one of my favorite meals because it is so delicious and uses ingredients I usually have in my pantry.

I love to enjoy it with a side of my Keto Coconut Cauliflower “Rice” or Keto Turmeric “Rice” recipe that I cook on the weekend and reheat when I’m ready to enjoy it during the week.

Recipe substitutions and modifications

The Keto Slow Cooker Chicken Saj recipe is just as delicious as it gets.

However, you may not have all the ingredients on hand or readily available to you. that’s good!

There are many substitutions and modifications you can make, and the recipe will still be very tasty.

Stirring the onions and seasonings before adding them to the slow cooker is optional, but it does add a deep flavor to the final recipe.
Boneless and skinless chicken breasts can be used instead of chicken thighs. If you are using bone-in chicken thighs or breasts, remove the bones and discard them after shredding them into bite-size pieces.
If you don’t want to shred the chicken after it’s cooked, cut the chicken into bite-size pieces before adding it to the slow cooker. Then, once the cooking time is up, simply add the spinach to the slow cooker and let it simmer until the spinach has wilted and the sauce is reduced to your liking.
You can use a combination of chicken breasts and chicken thighs as well. And don’t be afraid to use more than 1 pound (450 g) of chicken if you want leftovers for a few days.
Frozen chicken cannot be used in slow cooking. Be sure to thaw the chicken before adding it to the slow cooker.
Frozen spinach can be used in place of fresh spinach. Be sure to thaw the spinach and squeeze out the excess liquid before adding it to the slow cooker.
You can use an 8-ounce (240-ml) can of tomato sauce to equal 1 cup.
You can use 1 teaspoon of granulated garlic or 3/4 teaspoon of garlic powder in place of the garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon of ginger powder in place of fresh ginger.
Vegetable broth can be used in place of chicken broth.
