Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup Sugar-free honey substitute
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley
• 4 slices Lemon slices

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and let it heat up. Add the chicken thighs, cooking for 5-6 minutes per side until they are golden brown and nearly cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt over medium heat. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until aromatic.

Step 4

Add the sugar-free honey substitute, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Stir the mixture well and let it come to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, spooning the glaze over the tops. Place lemon slices around the chicken.

Step 6

Let the chicken simmer in the glaze for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until fully cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Baste the chicken occasionally with the glaze from the pan.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove from the heat. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Step 8

Serve the Keto Honey Glazed Chicken hot, with a side of your choice, such as steamed broccoli or cauliflower rice.
