Zesty Keto Lemon Garlic Chicken 

This zesty lemon garlic chicken is a flavorful and low-carb dish perfect for those following a keto diet. The combination of lemon juice, garlic, and herbs creates a delicious marinade that infuses the chicken with vibrant flavors.

The recipe is simple to prepare and can be grilled, baked, or pan-seared, making it versatile for any occasion.

Flavorful Marinade

The key to achieving a mouthwatering lemon garlic chicken lies in the marinade. Combining olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, and a selection of herbs creates a zesty mixture that infuses the chicken with vibrant flavors.

Start by whisking together the ingredients in a bowl. The olive oil not only adds richness but also helps the flavors meld beautifully. The acidity from the lemon juice brightens the dish, while garlic adds depth and aroma.

Marinating the Chicken

Once the marinade is prepared, it’s time to coat the chicken breasts. Placing the chicken in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish allows for even coverage of the marinade.

Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes, but for optimal flavor, consider extending this to a couple of hours. This step is crucial as it allows the chicken to absorb all the delicious flavors, resulting in a tender and juicy final dish.

Cooking Techniques

This lemon garlic chicken can be cooked in various ways, depending on your preference. Whether you choose to grill, bake, or pan-sear, each method offers a unique texture and flavor profile.

For grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side. If baking, place the marinated chicken in a preheated oven until it reaches the desired internal temperature. Each technique will yield a beautifully cooked chicken that is golden brown and glistening from the marinade.

Nutrition and Serving Suggestions

This dish is not only delicious but also aligns well with a low-carb lifestyle, making it a great option for those following a keto diet. Each serving is packed with protein and healthy fats, while keeping carbohydrates to a minimum.

For a complete meal, consider pairing the lemon garlic chicken with a side salad or a serving of cauliflower rice. These options complement the dish while maintaining the low-carb theme, allowing you to enjoy a satisfying meal without straying from your dietary goals.
