Keto Smothered Chicken – Important Tips

Chicken – For these types of gravy fishes, try to use skin on bone-in chicken thighs to get the most of flavorful chicken. They need some extra time to cook but believe me, it’s worth it! Instead, boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts can also be used as they also cook much faster but will not hold that flavorful juice.

Seasoning – You can use ranch seasoning or smoked paprika, or season the chicken with Creole Seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

Temperature – It’s always recommended to use an instant-read meat thermometer to test your chicken for doneness because we can cook the chicken if it’s not fully cooked after checking on the meat thermometer. And, if it’s overcooked we cannot undo that and the chicken will become dry and rubbery like texture while chewing.

Cream – I am using heavy whipping cream, for dairy-free version, use non-dairy milk or cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce as per your liking.

Herbs – Fresh herbs always taste better and add a fresh flavor. If fresh herbs are not available in hand, add dried herbs instead.
