A classic dish featuring a butter-filled chicken breast. The keto adaptation omits the traditional breading, focusing on the juicy chicken, rich melted herb butter, and a flavorful pan-sear.

Chicken breast, butter, garlic, fresh dill, fresh parsley, salt, black pepper. Cooked with ample cooking oil (e.g., sunflower or clarified butter).
How to make it keto
CRITICAL: Request absolutely no breading or flour coating. Ensure the chicken is pan-seared or baked plain. Request keto-friendly sides such as steamed green beans, asparagus, or broccoli instead of mashed potatoes or other starchy vegetables.
Watch out for
The primary carb risk is the breading. Some restaurants might use a light flour dredge even without full breading. Hidden sugars in any accompanying sauces or glazes. Traditional starchy side dishes.
