How to Make Low Carb Saucy Chicken in an Oven
Aunt Lou here.
We love providing our readers with different options for fixing some of our favorite recipes. This Low Carb Saucy Chicken is the oven version of our reader favorite (and one of my family’s favorites too) recipes. So not matter if you do not have an oven available and want to crock this recipe, or if you are low on time and want to throw this in the oven, you can have this delicious recipe!
I used chicken thighs. We are a dark meat loving family, but I know many of our readers love light meat. If you would prefer to use chicken breasts, just cut them into thigh size pieces so they cooking time will remain similar.
The sauce will become golden on top and bubbly around the edges as it nears being done. Once your chicken is done and has rested for 5-10 minutes, you will place the chicken on plates to serve and stir up the sauce. When it is all mixed together, it thickens up the sauce a bit. There is plenty of sauce, so feel free to ladle up as much as you want on each serving!
