Keto Easy Chicken Scampi For Meal Prep
How to Make It
Step 1
Prepare 3-ounce chicken breasts by patting them dry with a paper towel and rubbing ¼ teaspoon olive oil into each portion. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, and crushed red pepper. If you choose, you can marinate the chicken before cooking, but it tastes just as good as cooking right away. Heat a pan over medium heat and place the chicken in, seasoned side down.
Step 2
Let the chicken cook until it’s golden on one side – about 3-4 minutes. Flip the chicken over and reduce the heat to medium-low. Place a lid over the pan to finish cooking the chicken. After another 2-3 minutes, the chicken should be done. Transfer your finished chicken to a serving dish or cutting board to rest, and leave the pan on the stove.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to the lowest setting. Deglaze the pan with cold butter, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any leftover seasonings in the pan. Once the pan is deglazed, pour white wine vinegar into the pan. Let the pan sizzle and reduce briefly, and stir the sauce together one final time. Since the sauce is simply butter and vinegar, it will not be a creamy sauce but a light glaze instead. Pour the scampi sauce over the chicken for serving.
