Description

This meal is designed for those seeking a high-fat, moderate-protein dinner that stays firmly within strict keto limits. The chicken skin provides a satisfying crunch while the butter-basted spinach ensures a high fat-to-carb ratio. It is a simple, budget-friendly staple that delivers 30g of protein per serving.

Ingredients
  • 10 oz Chicken Thighs
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 4 cup Spinach
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 clove Garlic
Directions
  1. Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Place the chicken skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 6–7 minutes until the skin is crispy, then flip and cook for another 5–6 minutes until done.
  4. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside to rest.
  5. In the same pan, melt the butter over medium heat and stir in the minced garlic for 30 seconds.
  6. Add the spinach to the pan and toss until just wilted, then serve immediately with the chicken.
