Keto Creamy Dijon Chicken is an easy piquant keto dish you can have on the table in less than 45 minutes and that’s mostly the time it takes to caramelize your onions. I used boneless skin-on chicken thighs because that’s how I roll but you will in all likelihood use boneless skinless thighs. I love crispy chicken skin, and my butcher will take the bones out, so it’s what I most often ask for and parish the thought of that gorgeous chicken skin going into dog food. If it’s good for dogs it’s good for people. Keto creamy dijon chicken needs no breading of any kind so there isn’t even the prep of dredging your chicken in egg and pork rinds. I don’t have any idea how many chicken recipes I have on this site, but it is a pot-load. A few you might keep in mind could be: Chicken Piccata ~ Marriage Chicken ~ Kimchi Chicken Thighs and maybe even try your hand at some really easy Chicken Kiev.

- It will not take long for the heavy cream mixture to thicken in light of the fact that the mustard is its own thickener. If you over-reduce it, just add a little more water.
