Lemon Thyme Chicken

48 min

Introduction

This is one of my favorite meals to order at one of my favorite restaurants. I decided to make up my own version! It is the perfect way to change up your regular chicken for something that is different (and delicious), but still healthy. Each serving has only 5g of Carbs and 38g of Protein! Add it to some rice for a well rounded meal!

Lemon Thyme Chicken

How to Make

  1. Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.

  2. Cut chicken into 1in. cubes and rub with small amount of garlic, lemon juice, salt & pepper. Let chicken sit for 15 minutes.

  3. Spray a baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray. Chop Brussel sprouts, add to the baking sheet, and spray the brussel sprouts with a light spray of cooking spray. Roast at 425 degrees for 7 minutes.

  4. While roasting, chop the red bell pepper. After roasting for 7 minutes, take out the brussel sprouts, add the red pepper and roast for 12 more minutes.

  5. Spray a large frying pan with a generous amount of cooking spray and place chicken in the pan. Cook thoroughly on medium heat, about 5-6 minutes per side. Once cooked, place the chicken on a plate to the side.

  6. Using the same frying pan on medium heat, sauté the red onion for 2 minutes.

  7. Add in the minced garlic and thyme for 1 minute.

  8. Add the chicken broth and simmer for about 6 minutes, until the sauce is slightly thickened.

  9. Add in the lemon juice and butter and heat while stirring until the butter melts, about 1-2 minutes.

  10. Add the roasted red pepper and brussel sprouts to the sauce and heat while stirring for 2 minutes.

  11. Add the chicken to the sauce and heat while stirring for about 2 more minutes.
