Kevin Curry of @fitmencook shows us how to make one of his favorite keto-friendly dishes. Sear off chicken thighs and then stir up a creamy sun-dried tomato sauce, all in the same pan!

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ½ lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 teaspoon sea salt, divided
½ teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
½ cup chicken stock
⅓ cup sun-dried tomato, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, for garnish
steam cauliflower rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Season the chicken thighs on both sides with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
  • Heat a 10-inch cast iron skillet over high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the olive oil and the chicken thighs. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the edges are seared. Remove the chicken from the skillet and transfer to a clean plate.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the garlic thyme, and rosemary to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.
  • Pour in the chicken stock, then add the sun-dried tomatoes and heavy cream. Season with the remaining ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes, to let the flavors meld, then add the Parmesan cheese and stir until melted.
  • Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling into the sauce. Drizzle some of the sauce over the chicken.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes, until cooled slightly and the sauce thickens.
  • Garnish with the parsley, then serve the chicken over cauliflower rice with more sauce spooned on top.
  • Enjoy!
