Chicken breast, unsalted butter, garlic, fresh dill, salt, black pepper, almond flour/pork rinds (for optional keto crust), cooking oil.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request no breading or a keto-friendly breading (e.g., almond flour, crushed pork rinds). Confirm it's pan-fried or baked. Ask for low-carb vegetables (e.g., steamed broccoli, green beans) instead of mashed potatoes or rice.
Watch out for
Traditional breading is very high carb. Some restaurants may use fillers in the butter or sugary dipping sauces. Deep frying in non-keto oils.
