Keto Fried Chicken and Broccoli
Not sure what to make for a quick weeknight meal? Try this pan-fried chicken and broccoli skillet dinner. It’s simple to create with just a few ingredients. Juicy chicken thighs are pan-seared in melted butter, then broccoli is fried in the same pan to round out this healthy meal.
We kept the seasoning simple with butter, salt, and pepper. It’s nice to only have one pan to clean up and to know that you can get dinner on the table in just 20 minutes. That makes this also an easy meal for batch cooking lunches.
Yields 2 servings of Keto Fried Chicken and Broccoli
THE PREPARATION
9 ounces broccoli
3.5 ounces butter
10 ounces boneless, skinless, chicken thighs
Salt and pepper, to taste
THE EXECUTION
1. Rinse broccoli and trim into smaller, bite-size pieces. Include the stems in your meal.
2. Add half of the butter to a pan (that can fit all ingredients) over medium-high heat.
3. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Once the pan is hot, add chicken to the pan and cook until golden brown – about 5 minutes per side.
4. Add the broccoli and remaining butter to the pan and sautee for a few more minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
5. Serve in a small bowl with all of the pan drippings. Use the broccoli to soak up the pan drippings.
