Chef's pro tip
To prevent overcooking, stick to a 3-4 minute sear on each side of the chicken. Over-searing can result in dryness. When baking, watch the fillets closely. A golden-brown hue indicates a perfectly cooked chicken. Paying attention to these details ensures tender and juicy muffuletta chicken.

Did you buy the olive relish or did you make it from scratch? If so what olives did you use?
Alex Lester says
I used a store bought olive relish in an effort to keep things simple.
MS G says
WHAT BRAND OLIVE RELISH DID YOU BUY FOR THIS RECIPE? THANKS
Cast Iron Keto says
Hi, we don't remember the exact brand but any olive salad will work.
Danna B. says
Thanks for this recipe. Living in the big easy is definitely a challenge with the Keto diet. Especially when this is all you know. Thanks again. This will be added to the rotation.

Oh man, Lauren and I were in New Orleans for a work conference a few years ago. At the time we weren't eating low carb but were gluten-free and it was almost impossible to find a great restaurant. We found a few but we definitely didn't get to try any New Orleans classics. I hope you enjoy this recipe!
