Think you can't have Twix on keto? Think again. These 5-ingredient Keto Twix bars are not only ridiculously easy — they’re made with a secret cottage cheese nougat layer that's protein-packed and insanely good. I’m also showing a second variation using collagen for a chewy caramel-style layer. Two killer options, one low-carb dessert win.

![The Weight Loss Marry Me Chicken (Ive Made It 7 Times)
Grab the cookbook: https://www.daveskitchenmarket.com
Ive made Marry Me Chicken seven different ways over three years — the original, keto, crockpot, steak, pork, fajitas, even tortellini. This is the final version: the sauce rebuilt so it actually has protein in it, the chicken seared so it cant dry out, and the whole plate lands at 51g of protein for ~520 calories. The classic runs ~780 calories with half the protein. Same dish. Twice the reason to eat it.

MACROS (per serving, makes 4):
~520 calories | 51g protein | ~8g net carbs | ~29g fat
Classic marry me chicken: ~780 calories | ~26g protein
THE CHICKEN:
2 large chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs), halved into 4 cutlets, pounded to 1/2 inch. Salt both sides and rest 15 minutes (this mini-brine is the juiciness insurance). Dredge in 1/4 cup almond flour + 1/4 cup grated parmesan mixed. Sear in 2 tbsp of the sun-dried tomato jar oil + 1 tbsp butter over medium-high, 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crusted. Set aside — slightly underdone is correct, they finish in the sauce.
THE PROTEIN SAUCE (the whole trick):
In the same pan on medium: 4 minced garlic cloves + 1/2 cup chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, 60 seconds. Add 3/4 cup chicken broth, scrape up every browned bit, simmer 2 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, and 1/4 tsp xanthan gum (optional, keeps it silky).
THEN KILL THE HEAT. Wait for the bubbling to stop. Stir in 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese that youve blended completely smooth, then 1/2 cup fresh-grated parmesan in three additions. Off the heat is the whole trick — boiling splits cottage cheese into grainy curds, and dumped parmesan clumps. Off-heat and incremental = glossy restaurant sauce with ~15g of protein in the sauce alone.
FINISH: Chicken and its juices back in the pan on LOW, 3–4 minutes, spooning sauce over — steaming, never boiling. Torn basil on top. Serve over cauliflower mash, zucchini noodles, or my cabbage fettuccine.
CANT FIND COTTAGE CHEESE? I tested the substitutes in my last video — the winner works in this sauce too: [link to pizza bowl video]
REHEATING LEFTOVERS: 50% microwave power in 45–60 second bursts, stir between, splash of water or milk first, stop at steaming. Full power boils the edges and the sauce goes grainy. Keeps 3 days.
