Keto Creamy Garlic Chicken
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or dried thyme, oregano, basil)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Cook the Chicken:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Combine and Serve:
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them.
- Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
- Serve:
- Serve the Keto Creamy Garlic Chicken hot, with additional Parmesan cheese and a side of steamed vegetables or cauliflower rice for a complete keto meal.
