Quick and Easy Sheet Pan Meals!!!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes you just need a quick no fuss dinner that\u2019s quick and easy. This sheet pan scampi chicken thighs checks all those boxes. You\u2019ll have this meal ready to go before your oven is preheated. Low carb and Keto friendly boneless skinless chicken thighs that melt in your mouth in 30 minutes. That\u2019s a healthy meal, we can all get on board with.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe is perfect for meal prepping for the week or a healthy weeknight meal for the family. As much as I like crispy chicken skin I also enjoy the ease and convenience of boneless skinless chicken thighs. For me, thighs have so much more flavor and stay juicy much longer than chicken breasts.

Breasts or Thighs...We Love them Both. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re not a fan of thighs feel free to use chicken breast but they might take a few minutes longer if they are thick. You can always hammer out the breasts or butterfly them so the cook quicker and more evenly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I prefer the texture of thighs cooked a bit longer to an internal temperature of 175 degrees F. They are much more tender but still juicy. If cooking breasts stick to the standard 160 degrees F. So the meat stays moist.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like to use sheets of pre cut parchment paper to make clean up a little easier but cooking straight on the pan does give you a better sear. Either method works and I\u2019ll leave that to you to decide. I don\u2019t like using foil on my sheet pans. One it still seems to stick and I might be crazy but I feel like it leaches flavor onto the meat. That being said, I recommend using the parchment paper or just using a good quality stainless steel \u00bd sheet pan for all sheet pan meals.

Fresh Roasted Lemon Flavor takes this recipe up a notch!!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The reason I roast the halved lemons with the chicken is to release the Natural oils and caramelize the juice. Once the chicken is fully cooked squeeze the lemon juice over the chicken. After plating the chicken pour out the pan juices over the chicken to use up all that buttery goodness. The Caribeque Lemon Garlic seasoning<\/a> is absolutely fantastic on chicken. I also use it to saut\u00e9ed shrimp and fish. You can use the code \u201cLION15\u201d for 15% off on all their products.

Side Dish Suggestions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to sides you can go so many different directions. A few that I recommend are my Cauliflower Mushroom Risotto<\/a> , Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus<\/a> or the Palmini Florentine (pictured)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  If you haven\u2019t tried Palmini pasta<\/a> I would definitely recommend you give it a try. It\u2019s sturdy enough to hold up while cooking and a great low carb pasta option. Much like Miracle Noodles<\/a> it\u2019s all about adding your own flavor. As a stand alone product it really doesn\u2019t add much but when combined with a tasty sauce it\u2019s fantastic. If you really want to keep things simple just roast broccoli florets along with the chicken thighs to make this a one pan recipe.
