Ingredients to make Keto Chicken Breast With Garlic Butter Sauce recipe

– Chicken breasts: I use either boneless or on the bone chicken breast (whichever is on sale)it works really well for this keto chicken breast recipe.

– Garlic: If you have fresh garlic, use it instead of the garlic powder. Chop or minced garlic will do.

– Butter: The sauce in this recipe, butter, adds a lot of flavor to the chicken. I use my garlic herb butter recipe to make it tasty heavenly.

– Parmesan cheese: You can use fresh or shredded parmesan cheese. Freshly grated is the best option. I prefer to buy the big chunks and grate it as needed.

– Cilantro: I use fresh cilantro (this is one of my favorite herbs). If you don’t like cilantro, use parsley instead.

– Olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is my top favorite oil.
