2. Interactive Ingredients Checklist & Keto / High-Protein Swaps
When it comes to the ingredients, I like to use reduced-fat cheddar cheese for a lower-calorie option,
and fresh cilantro and scallions for a burst of freshness.
The Greek yogurt adds a tangy creaminess, while the sriracha sauce adds a spicy kick.

Chef Sofia’s Tested Swaps (High-Protein · Keto/Low-Carb · Air Fryer)
• High-Protein Boost: Add 1/4 cup (30g) chopped cooked bacon or 1/4 cup (30g) chopped hard-boiled egg for an extra 10g of protein!
• Keto & Low-Carb Swap: Replace the Greek yogurt with 2 tbsp (30g) unsweetened almond milk or a low-carb yogurt alternative for a lower-carb option.
• Air Fryer Option: Cook the chicken strips in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 5-6 minutes, shaking halfway, for a crispy exterior and juicy interior.
