These keto and low carb Maple Dijon Chicken Thighs make for a satisfying dinner that the whole family will love! They are sweet, a little tangy, and oh-so-moist.
1/2tspxanthan gum(optional, but will thicken sauce)
1 1/2lbsboneless skinless chicken thighs
fresh rosemary
additional salt and pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 F.
Whisk together all listed ingredients before chicken thighs in a small bowl. If you're using xanthan gum (highly recommended), sprinkle evenly over top before whisking (do not add in a clump).
Add chicken thighs to a 7"x11" glass baking dish. Pour mixture on top of chicken and turn chicken to coat it evenly.
Place baking dish in oven on the middle rack. Roast 35 minutes or until internal temp of chicken thighs reaches 165 F. Chicken should be nicely browned on top.
Remove chicken from oven and cover pan with aluminum foil. Allow chicken to rest for 10 mins covered, then season with fresh rosemary and additional salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with some of the pan sauce spooned over top.
Notes
Adjust dijon mustard based on your preferences. In my opinion, 4 tbsp dijon gives this recipe the perfect sweet-tangy mix. However, if you aren't a big mustard fan, try using only 3 tbsp for a sweeter chicken without the hint of mustard.Try this Italian and mozzarella based low carb recipe for chicken thighs, or any one of these delicious keto chicken thigh recipes.
