The Keto Lady Brown Butter Sage Chicken Thighs

This one’s for all my flavor-lovers who still want to keep it clean and low-carb! We’re talking crispy golden brown butter, fresh sage, and juicy chicken thighs. It’s a little fancy, a little rustic, and totally keto.

Ingredients (Serves 4):

• 1.5 lbs chicken thighs — boneless, with or without skin (your choice!)

• 4 tbsp unsalted butter

• 10–12 fresh sage leaves

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp sea salt

• ½ tsp cracked black pepper

• Optional: 1 tbsp olive oil (for browning if needed)

Instructions

1. Season the thighs: Sprinkle both sides of chicken with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

2. Brown the butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Let it cook until golden and nutty, about 3–4 minutes (don’t walk away!).

3. Sizzle the sage: Toss in your sage leaves and crisp them up for about 30 seconds. Remove with tongs and set aside.

4. Sear the chicken: In the same skillet, add chicken thighs. Sear on each side for 5–6 minutes until cooked through and golden.

5. Finish strong: Spoon that brown butter over the chicken, crumble the crispy sage on top, and serve hot.
