Tip
This keto dish can be cooked with other low-carb vegetables such as zucchini, asparagus, broccoli and spinach. Feel free to use your favorite spices to give this dish more flavorsome paprika, herbs, or onion powder are all yummy options.
Chipotle mayo is a great add!
It's based on the ratios. This recipe makes 2 servings, and there are 66 grams of fat per serving. The majority of the fat comes from the butter, while the rest comes from the chicken thighs. (If you add the optional mayo, that would increase the fat.)
I love a quick, weeknight dinner!
Thank you for sharing. Protein is the key priority here, the butter is added for flavor. If you find it's too much, you can definitely cut back.
