    Why You'll Love Garlic Butter Chicken

    • Full of amazing flavors
    • Made in one-pan for easy clean up
    • Great for meal prep
    • Simple to make with just a few ingredients
    • Only 1.1 grams of net carbs(!!)

    Ingredients List

    To make this recipe you'll only need a total of 9 ingredients.

    Garlic Butter Chicken Ingredients

    Chicken breasts - try to use fresh free range skinless and boneless chicken breasts.

    Chicken broth - make sure you use chicken broth not chicken stock. It contains less carbs making it more keto-friendly. Remember to always check the nutrition label when buying store bought varieties.

    Butter - the butter is the secret to the sauce in this recipe. It adds A LOT of extra flavor to the chicken. Try to use grass-fed butter, and although we highly recommend using it in this recipe you can always substitute it with a light olive oil.

    Garlic - Garlic is one of the most versatile ingredients in the kitchen. Whether you’re adding it to a sauce or using it as a breading, garlic has so many uses. This recipe shows how to add so much extra flavor to your chicken with this simple combination of butter, garlic and herbs. Make sure you use fresh garlic for the best flavor.

    Olive oil - pairs so well with almost all keto recipes with a number of health benefits.

    Parsley - we used plenty of fresh parsley to garnish the chicken breasts. You can also use fresh cilantro or dill as well as any of your favorite fresh herbs.

    Seasonings - the seasons we used are chicken seasoning (poultry seasoning), salt and black pepper. These are completely up to you, feel free to use any of your favorite seasonings. Italian seasoning also works great as a substitute for poultry seasoning and contains lots of similar herbs.

    How To Make Garlic Butter Chicken

    Step 1

    Heat the olive oil in a large pan or skillet over a medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sauté for 5 minutes on each side until they're golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

    Step 2

    Next, we'll make the garlic butter sauce for chicken. Deglaze the pan with the chicken broth over a high heat. Add the butter to the pan over a medium-high heat and mix it until melted.

    Step 3

    Add the garlic and seasonings and continue to cook for a few seconds while mixing, until golden and fragrant. Turn the heat off, and with the pan still on the stove return the chicken to the pan. Use a spoon to cover the chicken with the sauce to infuse the flavors.

    Step 4

    Serve hot garnished with fresh parsley or coriander and your favorite low carb sides.
