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.
