How to make Keto Greek Chicken Skillet: step-by-step guide
Cooking methods
Preparation steps
- Gather and measure all the required ingredients for the recipe.
- Mix the lemon juice, olive oil, Greek seasoning, and salt in a small bowl. Pour the mixture over the chicken thighs and let it sit for 10 minutes while preparing the remaining ingredients.
- Mince the garlic cloves, dice the onion, and halve the cherry tomatoes if required.
- Drain and rinse the artichoke hearts, and pit any green olives if needed.
- Chop or grate cauliflower if you are using fresh cauliflower.
- If you have frozen chicken thighs, you can thaw it.
Cooking instructions
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat and sear the chicken skin side down for 5-6 minutes without moving. Flip and continue to cook for 10-15 minutes until the chicken pieces are cooked through. Remove and set on a plate.
- Lower the heat to low and add in the garlic and onion, stirring constantly until soft, about 2 minutes. Add in the tomatoes, artichokes, and olives and cook while stirring for 2-3 minutes.
- Add in the cauliflower rice and cook for 5 minutes until soft and dry. Add in the lemon slices, the chicken, and any juices that are on the plate. Cook for another minute or so to reheat the meat and serve.
Chef's pro tip
One common mistake while making this recipe is overcooking the chicken, resulting in dry meat. To avoid this, follow cooking times and use a meat thermometer. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165Β°F (74Β°C). Let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist and flavorful. For a golden-brown color, ensure a hot pan and resist the temptation to move it around too often while searing.

What is in Greek Seasoning if you only have a Walmart array of spices?
