My Keto Chicken Thighs are a perfectly seasoned low carb main dish that everyone at the table will devour.  A simple blend of spices is all you need to make chicken thighs turn into an indulgent focus of your meal.  

Keto Chicken Thighs

Chicken thighs are a wonderful protein choice on a keto diet.  No matter what your keto macros are, these easily fit into the day. 

Plus, they adapt to so many flavor profiles that you will never run out of options for making them at dinnertime. 

This recipe starts on the stovetop in your best cast iron skillet but is easily finished cooking in the oven.  That gives you plenty of time to whip up your favorite side dishes, or just relax for a few minutes before dinner is served. 

Of course, one of the best things about this recipe is obviously that it is super keto friendly and ideal for a meal that everyone at your table will enjoy. 

No more worries about making two separate meals for the keto and non-low carb people at the dinner table.  

Can I Make This With Chicken Breasts?

Yes, you can use this preparation method for chicken breasts and keep the meal low carb.  There are a few things of note, however, if you choose that as an option.  

First, you will want to check your keto macro calculator to see what you should be aiming for each day.  Often, chicken breasts do not have the fat content you need, so you will have to add extra fats alongside it.  

Secondly, since chicken breasts dry out so much easier than these keto chicken thighs, you will need to adjust your cooking time considerably. 

You want them to be safe to eat, but also still moist. Leave the skin on the breasts, and use a meat thermometer to make sure they are at the correct internal temperature (165°), but don’t leave them in the oven any longer than absolutely necessary.

What Should I Serve With Low Carb Chicken Thighs?

Anything you want that fits into your macros for the day!  I love this alongside some riced cauliflower and broccoli, but you can truly fit in any keto-friendly recipes alongside this for sides. 

The keto green bean casserole is a great side, and if you have mashed cauliflower, you could even make my low carb keto gravy recipe. 

Have fun experimenting with roasting and steaming vegetables, or even doing things like sauteeing them in bacon grease for added flavor. 

I’ve been wanting to try topping these chicken thighs with my mushroom gravy sauce.
