Low Carb Creamy Garlic Chicken

Ingredients:

  • For the Chicken:
    • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded thin)
    • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • For the Sauce:
    • 1/4 cup lemon juice
    • 1/4 cup white wine (or chicken broth for a non-alcoholic option)
    • 1/4 cup butter
    • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
    • 1/4 cup capers (drained)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chicken:
    • Dredge the chicken breasts in a mixture of flour, salt, and black pepper, coating them evenly.
  2. Cook the Chicken:
    • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they’re golden brown and cooked through.
    • Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside on a plate.
  3. Make the Sauce:
    • In the same skillet, add the lemon juice and white wine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes until the liquid has reduced by half.
  4. Add Butter and Capers:
    • Stir in the butter, capers, and chopped parsley, allowing the butter to melt and the sauce to come together into a creamy texture.
  5. Combine Chicken and Sauce:
    • Return the cooked chicken to the pan, coating it evenly with the sauce. Let it simmer for another 2 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  6. Serve:
    • Serve immediately with a side of steamed vegetables, cauliflower rice, or any low-carb side of your choice.
    • Garnish with additional fresh parsley and lemon wedges for extra freshness.
