Perfect for a low-carb, ketogenic diet, this dish is easy to prepare and delivers bright citrus notes balanced with savory herbs for a delicious and healthy meal.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Marinade

  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lemon slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper until well combined to create the lemon herb mixture.
  2. Place chicken in slow cooker: Arrange the boneless, skinless chicken breasts evenly in the crockpot or slow cooker base.
  3. Add marinade over chicken: Pour the lemon herb mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully coated to absorb the flavors.
  4. Cook the chicken: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook the chicken on low for 7 hours or on high for 4 hours until the meat is fully cooked and tender.
  5. Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts carefully. Serve hot, garnished with fresh lemon slices for an extra burst of citrus flavor.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the lemon herb mixture for 1 hour before cooking.
  • If you prefer, you can bake the chicken breasts at 375°F for 25-30 minutes using the same marinade.
  • Use fresh herbs if available, substituting 1 tbsp of fresh herbs for 1 tsp dried.
  • Adjust salt and pepper according to taste preferences.
  • This recipe pairs well with steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete keto meal.
