- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Zucchini, chopped
- 2 cups Spinach
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on both sides.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the sliced mushrooms, red bell pepper, and zucchini to the skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are slightly tender.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook until the liquid reduces by half.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy.
Step 7
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted.
Step 8
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet and allow them to heat through for an additional 3-4 minutes, coating them with the creamy sauce.
Step 9
Serve hot and enjoy your Keto Creamy Chicken with Vegetables!
