Keto Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Thighs

Keto Dinner Recipes > Keto Dinner Recipes

Channel your inner Rachael Ray and whip up this weeknight meal in 30 minutes or less. I think the method for cooking this chicken is wonderful. The pieces are coated in Parmesan then fried in the sun-dried tomato oil. This creates a flavorful sear on the chicken itself.

Then these chicken thighs are smothered in a creamy sun-dried tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese, taking this meal to the next level. This recipe is perfect with zoodles or a side salad.

This simple, easy and delicious!! I froze in individual containers to have a work. First couple of pieces the parm cheese stuck to my pan but I just cooked the rest of them a bit longer before turning, worked great. Thanks. Will definitely be making this again
