A keto-adapted version of the iconic dish: tender chicken breast pounded thin, rolled around a cylinder of cold garlic and herb butter (typically dill and parsley), then baked or pan-fried without any breading.
Key ingredients
Chicken breast, butter, fresh dill, fresh parsley, fresh garlic, salt, black pepper, cooking oil.
How to make it keto
The most critical modification is to explicitly request it UNBREADED. This is fundamental for keto. Also, ensure it's not served with traditional sides like mashed potatoes or rice; request green vegetables instead.
Watch out for
The traditional version is heavily breaded and deep-fried, making the breading a significant carb risk. Ensure absolutely no breading is used. Restaurant sauces or side dishes (like mashed potatoes) are also carb risks; clarify no potato or grain sides.
