Making low carb simple
Instructions
- Mix mayonnaise and garlic powder in a small bowl and set aside.
- Fry the bacon slices in butter until crispy. Remove and keep warm. Save the grease in the pan.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper and then cut each thigh into thirds. Fry in the same skillet as the bacon until golden brown and thoroughly cooked.
- Rinse and chop the lettuce; be sure to use a clean cutting board and knife (different from the one used when handling the raw chicken).
- Place the lettuce on a plate and top with chicken, bacon, tomatoes, and garlic mayo.
Tip!
For a shortcut, sub in shredded rotisserie chicken. Then the bacon fat can be used to make a yummy bacon vinaigrette for the salad. Just add a little vinegar and salt and pepper!

You can use a garlic clove.
You can add as little or as much as you'd like to suit your taste preferences. Think about 1/4 cup.
I did have sore kidneys for about 3 weeks, getting better now. side effects of Keto? not sure.
I'm not going to stay with Keto if the kidneys keep being sore.
Standard recipe convention always lists meat weights uncooked.
I will check with the Recipes team. Thanks for posting!
Nutrition information is listed per serving. There are 4 servings in the recipe using 1 lb of chicken.
The powder works well for making the garlic mayo, but you can certainly use a clove of garlic instead if you prefer.
