Keto Creamy Garlic Butter Chicken Thighs
Savory chicken thighs bathed in a creamy garlic butter sauce, finished with a touch of parmesan. This keto-friendly skillet recipe delivers comforting flavor with minimal carbs and maximum richness.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- to taste Salt and pepper seasoning
- garnish chopped parsley
Instructions
- Pat the chicken thighs dry and season them with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken, skin-side down, and sear until the skin is crispy and golden, about 4-5 minutes. Flip and sear the other side for 3-4 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium. In the same pan, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté just until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan as the sauce starts to simmer.
- Stir in Parmesan and thyme. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the tops. Simmer for 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
