For whatever reason you might be following a low-carb diet, you’re probably quite familiar with seeing chicken on your plate for dinner frequently. The protein is an easy choice when selecting a main that’s low in carbohydrates while also being fairly straightforward to prepare. It’s also incredibly versatile. Whether you bring home boneless, skinless chicken breasts from the grocery store, or skin-on thighs, there’s nearly endless opportunity to turn them into a satisfying meal.
