Low Carb Pan Seared Chicken with Parsley and Thyme

 

DAY 2 Chicken/Eggs and Melon/Gourd Day! Now doesn’t THAT sound exciting? Haha, squint, and try to image REAL hard and you might be able to come up with, “Exciting!” But seriously…we’ve figured out how to crack the code on QUICK, EASY, and DELICIOUS—even with chicken, pick all 3!

 

The secret to quick, easy, and delicious (and SUPER low carb) meals is honest to God, pan searing. We’ve discussed it before. It’s a basic cooking skill. And if you haven’t acquainted yourself with a sizzling hot pan, cold fat, and meat ready to go, you should check out this steak post that discusses it. Or you can read about it in our pork chop post.

 

 

Pan Seared Chicken with Parsley and Thyme Recipe

 

Most days, that’s how we cook. We pan sear a protein, throw it together with a veg and maybe a salad and get down, get down! It takes maybe 15-20 minutes of time investment, and the reward is Jumpin’ Jack Flash delicious food in less time than it takes your two-timing pizza delivery guy to make it to your door with a limp pizza made with fake cheese.

But pan searing is such an important cooking technique, we can’t help but repeat it. And since we’re doing Mr. Fluffy’s Keto Allergy Elimination/Rotation Diet, we will use this technique often because we will be using fresh herbs, and fresh herbs ADORE this manner of cooking. The most important part of the equation is to have a seriously hot pan. Use whichever pan you have, but pan searing honestly works best with a heavy skillet made from either cast iron, enameled cast iron, stainless, or even anodized aluminum (gasp). When the oil/fat is hot enough, the trick is to listen for a sizzle as you begin to place the meat into the pan. No sizzle, no joy. Abort the mission and wait for the pan to heat longer.

Once the pan is fully at optimal temperature, place the meat in the pan and don’t touch it again until it’s time to flip it to the second side. Ideally, flip only once. The meat will cook quickly, anywhere from 1-3 minutes per side depending on thickness and BTU output of your stove. From start to finish we have perfectly pan seared chicken in 4-5 minutes when the butterflied sides are 1/4-inch or less. The tasty beauty develops through the caramelization process (called the Maillard Reaction) and from the quick pan sauce made after cooking.

 

 

Pumpkin in Browned Butter

 

We made Pumpkin in Browned Butter aka Refried Pumpkin (the Melon/Gourd portion of tonight’s allergy soirée) and you can read the recipe here and drool over it. This stuff is the low carb bomb with either chicken or pork (which means it will also rock with turkey) and yet, it was born out of creativity and necessity! I didn’t have time to hit the grocery, we had canned pumpkin in the pantry, thus satisfying the Melon/Gourd Family portion of the food equation for Day 2…and boom, bayyyybeee!! Mr. Fluffy has a side dish for his chickie boobs tonight—and the crahps ah sayuved!
