Why not try serving this low carb chicken recipe with a side of Keto cauliflower rice or a medley of roasted low carb vegetables?
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl, toss together the thawed broccoli, the olive oil, first amounts of salt and pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika. Arrange the broccoli on a sheet tray lined with aluminum foil, leaving 4 spaces for your chicken thighs in the next step.
Step 2
Arrange the 4 chicken thighs in amongst the broccoli on the sheet tray. Sprinkle the second amounts of salt and pepper, and the onion powder evenly over the tops of the chicken thighs. Please feel free to adjust the seasonings to suit your own personal tastes. Please adjust your macros for any changes made.
Step 3
Melt the butter in a small heat proof bowl. You can do this over the stove in a double boiler or in the microwave. Add the honey, garlic, and lemon juice to the bowl with the melted butter. Stir everything together until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Using a marinade brush, brush most of the honey garlic butter mixture (reserving 1 tablespoon) all over the exposed chicken thighs. Make sure to cover the chicken evenly in the marinade, coating both the meat and skin. Reserve the remaining tablespoon of honey garlic butter aside for later.
Step 5
Transfer the tray to the oven and bake for 50 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, brush the reserved honey garlic butter over the chicken thighs, then return to the oven to finish cooking. This additional coating of marinade is what creates a layer of crispy, sweet chicken skin.
Step 6
Divide the cooked chicken and broccoli between four serving plates, serving each chicken thigh with a portion of broccoli. If any juices collected in your tray, make sure to drizzle it all over your hot chicken thighs! Serve hot with your favorite Keto sides.
