Herbed Chicken And Mushrooms - Dairy Free, Low Carb, Whole30

This herbed chicken and mushrooms is so tender and juicy. It packs so much flavor that it is hard to believe that it is ready and on the table in just over 30 minutes from start to finish. You’ve got to love any recipe that is inexpensive to prepare, only dirties one pot, is quick and easy, while still being incredibly flavorful.

For this low carb chicken recipe, I decided to go with bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. I chose thighs over breasts for a few different reasons. Chicken thighs are higher in fat than breasts, making them even more keto friendly. They are less expensive and they cook very quickly. Perhaps my favorite reason is because you just can’t beat that super crispy, perfectly seasoned chicken skin. Mmmmmm, my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Another reason that I love chicken thighs is that they are great for quick and easy meal prep recipes. I’ve said it before and I will say it again, meal prep and meal planning has been a huge part of my success in losing weight with a low carb lifestyle. Having something healthy to grab at a moments notice keeps me from reaching for the wrong types of foods.
