Keto Salsa Verde Chicken
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Pat the chicken thighs with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs across a shallow oven tray and bake for 35-40 minutes or until cooked through and crisp and golden on the outside.
Step 2
While the chicken thighs are cooking you can prepare the salsa verde. Add the parsley, basil, mustard, lemon zest and capers to a food processor. Peel the garlic and add to the food processor. Pulse everything together to combine.
Step 3
With the motor of the food processor slowly running, add the olive oil a little at a time. Continue to blend until you have a semi smooth sauce. Taste and adjust the seasonings as desired adding more garlic, lemon zest, anchovies or capers. You may also add more oil for a thinner dressing.
Step 4
Serve the chicken thighs hot and drizzle over the salsa verde. You can serve any remaining sauce on the side as a dip. Accompany with you preferred low carb sides.
