Mediterranean Chicken and Carrot Skillet

Why this?
This Mediterranean Chicken and Carrot Skillet marries the simple, fresh flavors typical of Mediterranean cuisine with the convenience of a one-pan meal. The use of olive oil, lemon, and herbs like oregano and parsley not only infuses the dish with traditional flavors but also ensures that it fits well within a keto-friendly diet, focusing on healthy fats and low carbs.

Ingredients:

2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
3 large carrots, peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Preparation Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano.
  • Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the sliced carrots and sauté for about 5 minutes or until they begin to soften.
  • Slice the cooked chicken breasts and return them to the skillet with the carrots.
  • Drizzle the lemon juice over the chicken and carrots and stir to combine.
  • Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
