Keto French Chicken Provencal
Chicken Provencal is a French dish from Provence that celebrates the regional produce. Tender chicken is browned and slowly braised in a delicious wine sauce with shallots, plump cherry tomatoes, olives, garlic, and herbs until nice and juicy. The white wine takes this dish to the next level, so make sure you use a brand you enjoy drinking. While chicken Provencal sounds fancy, it is one of the easiest French Keto recipes anyone can master.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400F/200C. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides and dredge them with coconut flour. Cut the onion into wedges, slice the garlic, chop the parsley, and pit the olives.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat in a cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven. Place the chicken skin-side down and cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Transfer the chicken to a plate and add 1 tbsp olive oil to the skillet. Add the onions and garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in the thyme and 2 tbsp of parsley.
Step 4
Add in the wine and chicken broth. Scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add the cherry tomatoes and olives.
Step 5
Place the chicken in the sauce, skin side up. Cover the skillet with aluminum foil or a lid. Bake for 45-50 minutes.
Step 6
Carefully take the skillet out of the oven and remove the foil/lid. Let it cool for 10 minutes. Garnish with the remaining parsley and lemon wedges and serve.
