Saturday or “Caturday” as we call it in our house is a good chance to decompress, spend some time with the kitties, do a little prep and get ready for the week ahead with a new keto recipe. We tend to do a meal we are familiar with that is quick and easy so we have more time to do the fun stuff. If you do the same the “Caturday Recipe” series is for you. No videos, no pop ups, no explanation of the mountain we hiked to pick the lettuce… just a plain ole’ fashioned Parmesan Chicken recipe.

Keto Style Parmesan Chicken

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Cook until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add broccoli florets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
  • Return chicken breasts to the skillet, arranging them among the broccoli.
  • Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken and broccoli.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
