Juicy chicken thighs cooked in Dijon cream and served with a side of steamed broccoli. What’s not to like about that! This keto-friendly chicken dish is sure to become one of your new favorites.

Making this simple, yet tasty recipe only has a few steps. First, mix together the sauce ingredients like the cream and mustard, and then pound the chicken breasts to get them to an even thickness. Finally, season the chicken and then add it to a piping hot skillet. Once the chicken is cooked through, the sauce ingredients are added and then allowed to simmer away until they become thick. Simple as that.

While the chicken and sauce are cooking away, blanch the broccoli, which you will be serving on the side. If you don’t like broccoli, feel free to swap this out for spinach or another leafy greens vegetable. Whatever leafy green vegetables you use will add lots of healthy vitamins and minerals to your meal to compliment the protein from the chicken.

Once all the components of this dish are cooked, all you need to do is serve it up on a plate, sprinkle on some fresh parsley, and then enjoy! If you end up with any leftovers this dish makes the perfect lunch heated up the next day.
