Ingredients:
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/2 cup chicken broth
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Sear the Chicken
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, place your chicken thighs skin-side down in the pan. Let them sear for about 5-6 minutes, until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip the thighs over and cook for another 5 minutes.
Pro Tip: Resist the urge to move the chicken too soon—it’s all about that perfect, crispy sear!
2. Remove and Rest
Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the pan and set aside. Let the chicken rest while you prepare the sauce. This is crucial for keeping it juicy and tender.
3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
In the same pan, lower the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, toss in the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Then, pour in the heavy cream and stir, allowing the sauce to simmer and thicken for 2-3 minutes.
Optional Add-Ins: Want an extra layer of flavor? A splash of white wine or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese can elevate this sauce to new heights.
4. Combine & Finish
Return the chicken thighs to the pan, spooning the creamy garlic butter sauce over the top. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for another 2-3 minutes to absorb all that goodness. If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle some fresh parsley over the top for color and freshness.
Substitution Tip: Not a fan of chicken thighs? Swap for chicken breasts or even pork chops—just adjust the cooking time accordingly.
5. Taste and Adjust
Give the sauce a quick taste. Does it need a pinch more salt? Maybe a crack of black pepper? Now’s the time to adjust the seasoning to your liking. It’s all about finding that perfect balance.
6. Serve & Enjoy
Plate your chicken thighs with a generous drizzle of garlic butter sauce and marvel at your keto masterpiece. Pair with some roasted veggies or a fresh salad, and you’ve got yourself a satisfying, keto-approved meal. Bon appétit, from your friends at Ketori-La!
