Keto Green Chicken

15 ratings

These simple chicken pieces are crispy and flavorful thanks to a lemon and herb marinade. The bright green marinade is delicious, so consider making extra to chop the chicken with after cooking, or as a sauce or dip for vegetables. Serve these with your favorite veggie side dish.

          If I would like to freeze some portions would it then be better to freeze before or after cooking?

              Roasted a whole chicken with this recipe. Included rosemary and sage as stuffing too. Very moist and delicious.

                    No I’m sure they mean the juice of one lemon. Lol.

                    I washed the lemon, cut it into small chunks - removing the seeds - and tossed it into the blender.

                    I would think the white pith of the lemon would make the recipe bitter. I would zest the whole lemon and add the juice.
