Keto Chicken Thigh Recipe With Chili And Ginger

KETO SMOTHERED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Season chicken thighs on all sides with paprika, salt, and pepper.
• Cook bacon in a cast iron skillet or oven-safe pan over medium-high heat until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Drain and discard excess grease from skillet.
• Return skillet to medium heat and cook chicken thighs, skin-side down, for 3 to 4 minutes. Flip chicken over and place skillet in the preheated oven.
• Bake until chicken thighs are no longer pink at the bone and juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Remove all but 2 tablespoons drippings from skillet.
• Return skillet to the stove over medium-high heat. Pour in chicken broth while whisking up brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add mushrooms and cook until soft, about 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in heavy whipping cream and whisk together until lightly simmering, then reduce heat to medium-low. Season with salt and pepper, if necessary.
• Return chicken and any juices back into skillet; top with bacon and green onions. Serve immediately, spooning sauce over the chicken.

KETO CHICKEN CHILI

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet with a tight fitting lid, over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and brown on both sides.
• Add the chopped celery, onion and garlic to the pan. Cook over medium heat until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add the chili powder and mix well to distribute the seasoning. Cook for an additional minute or until the dish is fragrant.
• Add the oregano, diced tomatoes, and water to the skillet and mix well. Put the lid on and turn the heat down to a bare simmer.
• Simmer for about 30 minutes.
• Add the green bell pepper and lime juice. Cook an additional 5 minutes or until the peppers are soft but not mush.
• Adjust the salt and pepper to taste, and serve!
