Garlic Butter Keto Chicken Skillet
Keto comfort food, coming right up! Made with Roast Chicken Bone Broth and Ghee, this Garlic Butter Keto Chicken Skillet is just 2.5 grams of net carbs per serving. It’s like butta, baby.
*makes 6 servings
Ingredients:
- 6 chicken thighs (boneless/skinless)
- heaping 1/3 cup Organic Valley Ghee
- 1 cup water (split into 2 1/2 cups)
- 1 scoop Ketologie Roast Chicken Bone Broth
- 1 lb asparagus (trimmed)
- 3 minced clove of garlic
- 1/4 cup parsley leaves
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- pinch of salt and pepper
- juice from 1/2 lemon
Directions:
- In a large bowl add the chicken thighs, parsley, minced garlic, onion powder, crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper, and mix well. In a large cast-iron skillet melt half of the ghee. Once the ghee has been melted, add the chicken thighs and cook on medium to medium-low heat for around 12 minutes a side.
- While the chicken thighs are cooking, add the asparagus to a microwavable safe bowl, along with a 1/2 cup of the water, and microwave for around 5 minutes (straining afterward). Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and add the remaining ghee. While the ghee is melting, add the Ketologie Bone Broth to the remaining water and mix well with a whisk. Pour into the skillet and reduce the sauce down.
- When the sauce starts to reduce add the asparagus to it and cook until lightly charred. Now add the chicken thighs back to the skillet just to warm them up. Coat in fresh lemon juice, and serve hot.

Crispy Chocolate Chip Keto Cookies
Indulge your sweet tooth with these Crispy Chocolate Chip Keto Cookies—at only 2 net carbs per cookie. Made with blanched almond flour, Garden Of Life Unflavored Protein, and Ketologic Erythritol for a touch of sweetness, you can snack to your keto heart’s content.
*recipe makes 10 cookies
Ingredients:
- 1/2 scoop Garden of Life unflavored protein
- 3/4 cup blanched almond flour
- heaping 1/4 cup semi-sweetened keto chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup Ketologic Erythritol
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 1 large egg beaten
- 2 Tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp (3-4g) pure vanilla extract
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 325 Degrees F. Add all of the dry ingredients into a large bowl, mix and combine. Now add the beaten egg, and melted butter, and chocolate chips. Once combined, use a tablespoon-sized cookie scoop to make “heaping” tablespoon-sized cookies.
- Add the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. The recipe will make around 10 cookies, but they will not spread out, so you’ll want to shape them before baking. To do this coat a spoon with baking spray and press the tops down. Bake in the oven for around 12-15 minutes. They should just be golden brown. It’s ok if they’re soft at first, they’ll firm up as they cool.
- Let them cool for 15 minutes on the tray itself, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling to room temperature. Store in a sealed container for several days.
