These Juicy Grilled Chicken Thighs are the perfect EASY keto dinner! This recipe is healthy, absolutely delicious, and great for meal prep.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs chicken thighs boneless, skinless
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- 3 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tbsp sugar free maple syrup or honey if not keto
- 2 limes juiced and zested
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Mix together the cilantro, oil, sweetener, lime juice, lime zest, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a shallow bowl or Ziplock bag. Add the chicken and marinade for at least 8 hours.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook chicken for 10 minutes, then flip and grill another 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through to 165 degrees.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and allow to rest for about 5 minutes. Serve!
Notes
- This chicken makes for really good tacos, wraps, burritos, and salads! It’s also great on its own!
- You can just plop the chicken in the marinade and freeze it in a zip-lock bag for up to 3 months for a nice freezer meal, too!
- This can also be done with chicken breasts!
- I cooked this chicken at 450 degrees on my Traeger grill.
