Keto Optimization Tips:
Use Thighs with Skin (Optional):
For more flavor and fat, you can use skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs. This will increase the fat content, making it more keto-friendly.
Serving Suggestions:
Pair the chicken with a side of roasted or steamed low-carb vegetables like asparagus, Brussels sprouts, or broccoli.
Add a side salad with a high-fat dressing like ranch or Caesar for extra fat content.
Marinade Tip:
If you prefer a stronger flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. The longer marinating time allows the flavors to penetrate the meat more deeply.
Instructions:
Marinate the Chicken:
Combine lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, oregano, thyme, dill, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Mix well.
Pour the marinade over the chicken thighs in a large bowl or ziplock bag, ensuring all the pieces are well coated.
Seal the bag or cover the bowl, and refrigerate for 2-6 hours, or overnight for stronger flavor.
Bake the Chicken:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Arrange the marinated chicken thighs in a large baking dish. Pour any remaining marinade over the top.
Bake for 40 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165-175°F (74-80°C). For a crispy finish, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes.
Serve:
Serve the chicken hot with your favorite keto sides.
Enjoy this delicious, savory chicken dish as part of your keto diet!
