Ingredients
Keto Chicken Marinade Ingredients
- 8.5 oz Chicken Fillets 2 fillets
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil
- 1/4 cup Lemon Juice (optional)
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 1 teaspoon Parsley
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
Keto Chicken Side Dish
- 1/2 recipe Keto Mediterranean Rice
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, parsley, cumin, paprika, black pepper, coriander, and salt. This adds bold Mediterranean flavor to the chicken.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the boneless chicken breasts (or thighs) to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes (or overnight for deeper flavor).
- Cook the Mediterranean Rice: While the chicken marinates, prepare the Keto Cauliflower & Broccoli Mediterranean Rice (this takes about 20 minutes).
- Prefer something quicker? Use plain sautéed cauliflower rice as an easy alternative.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a cast iron skillet or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (use a meat thermometer).
- Assemble and Serve: Divide the Mediterranean Rice (or cauliflower rice) between two plates. Place the cooked chicken on top. Garnish with Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, or basil for extra flavor.
- Optional: Add your favorite side dishes to complete the meal.
