“What’s for dinner?”
That’s a question that has brought fear and angst to the heart of every mom since, like, forever.
In this fast-paced world we live in, most of us don’t have 2 hours to spend fixing dinner every night.
We need it easy, and we need it now!
Add Keto to the mix, and dinner time can quickly become a nightmare.
But no more, my friend. I’ve got you covered!
I’ve compiled my favorite fast keto dinner ideas into this one post.
I scoured the internet looking for the best, just for you.
Just kidding! I did it for all of us.
So without further ado, I give you the best fast keto dinner recipes on the internet!

Tess the Domestic Diva hit the nail on the head with this one! Lovin me some keto Mexican recipes!
These Paleo Fajitas are made with chicken thighs, which is the tastiest cut, and also less expensive than the breast meat. So, double win.
The meat needs to marinate for about 6 hours, so throw it together in the morning or even the night before, and dinner will be a breeze.
35 minutes from start to fiesta!
This Quick Keto Chicken Alfredo with Spaghetti Squash comes from yours truly right here at The Low Carb Keto Kitchen.
