White meat chicken is thoroughly rubbed in the traditional spices before being cooked and sliced over a skillet filled with keto-friendly zucchini and loads of fresh feta. This dish is warm, inviting, filling, and very sharable!
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 375 degrees. In a mixing bowl, place in 5-oz chicken breasts as well as the first amounts of salt and pepper, the allspice, nutmeg, onion powder, sage, thyme, and first amounts of lemon juice and olive oil. Toss the chicken with these ingredients and use your hands to really rub the spices in.
Step 2
Place the chicken and all their spices/oil on a sheet tray lined with aluminum foil. Bake the tray for 30 minutes. Set tray aside or leave it in your turned-off oven to keep warm for later.
Step 3
Chop your zucchini into quartered pieces and toss in a new mixing bowl with the second amount of salt and pepper, the italian seasoning, garlic, and second amounts of lemon juice and olive oil.
Step 4
Place a pan over a medium heat on the stove and toss the seasoned zucchini into the pan. Cook and stir until the zucchini is browned on all sides and tender. Turn the heat down to a low and melt the butter in the pan. Coat all zucchini in the butter.
Step 5
Chop the feta into small cubes and sprinkle them over the zucchini. Slice your cooked chicken and arrange the slices over the feta. Place a lid over the whole pan and let it cook on low heat, undisturbed, for 3-4 minutes. All ingredients should be heated through and the feta will be soft and easy to stick to the zucchini. You may heat for longer if necessary.
