Keto Baked Chicken Thighs with Honey Mustard Cauliflower

5 ratings

Juicy chicken thighs are coated in a crispy, crunchy coating made with keto friendly pork rinds and parmesan cheese. An excellent side dish here is roasted cauliflower florets completely coated in a slightly sticky honey mustard dressing.

Recipe Steps

steps 8

45 min

  • Step 1

    Preheat an oven to 375 degrees. Prepare the breading by pulsing the pork rinds, parmesan, paprika, and parsley in a food processor until you have a fine crumb.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Spread the breading on a small plate. Additionally, whisk a whole egg in a small bowl.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Prep 2 chicken thighs by laying them flat on a cutting board and seasoning with the salt and pepper.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    Dip each chicken thigh in the egg, let any excess drip off, then coat in the breading. Make sure the chicken thighs are completely covered in breading before laying on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper.
    Step 4
  • Step 5

    Bake the thighs for 30-35 minutes, no flipping, until the breading is crisp and darkened.
    Step 5
  • Step 6

    While the chicken is cooking, break the cauliflower up into florets. In a bowl, toss the florets with the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, olive oil, and honey mustard until the florets are all covered.
    Step 6
  • Step 7

    Spread the cauliflower across a well seasoned sheet tray or a tray lined with parchment paper. Bake the tray for 20-22 minutes (it’s okay to join the chicken in the oven), tossing the tray about halfway through.
    Step 7
  • Step 8

    Serve a breaded chicken thigh with a fair portion of honey mustard cauliflower. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley at your discretion.
    Step 8

    Great recipe. I made this for my entire family and they loved it. That is huge because my husband is a bean and tortillas eating man and he had not a clue he was eating "keto." He ate 2 helpings. I will definantly make this again. I was simple and fast. Perfect for easy dinner nights.
