Super Easy Lemon Dijon Chicken Thighs Recipe

While eating Keto meals is different, it's not difficult. I modified this recipe from my original quick lemon chicken meal. While I never shared it on my blog, it is a recipe that I go to often.  The only ingredient I added is the clarified butter.  It added a buttery flavor to the chicken, which my son just loved. If you try it, you can go without the butter if you do not want it. Here is how I made this simple Lemon Dijon Chicken Thighs Recipe weeknight dish. Feel free to follow along or add additional ingredients.

Keto-Friendly Lemon Dijon Chicken Thighs Recipe

Simple Ingredients:

2 lb chicken thighs (boneless and Skinless)
1 tablespoon Herb De Provence (Affiliate Link)
1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
2 Cloves garlic minced
3 tablespoon olive oil (Affiliate Link) and 1 tablespoon Clarified Butter
1 whole lemon juice (squeezed)

Quick Instructions:

1. Add to a gallon baggie, and place chicken, herbs, dijon, olive oil (Affiliate Link), and lemon juice in it—Marinate for 20 minutes or overnight for more flavor.
2. Heat skillet with 2 tablespoon of Ghee, and let melt.
3. Add the content of the bag to the skillet. Situate them in the skillet so they do not overlap.
4. Cook covered for 15 minutes. Then remove the lid for five more minutes to reduce the liquid and then brown.

Here's the final dish. I served it with sauteed broccoli rabe, and everyone devoured it. I sauteed the broccoli rabe in olive oil (Affiliate Link) with garlic powder.  You can use fresh garlic minced as well if you prefer. I found it took longer to marinate than it did to cook this recipe. And that is my kind of recipe. How about you? Do you prefer marinated recipes?
