The tribe has spoken! I recently held a poll on my social media pages to see what type of recipes my followers would like to see this summer and keto/low-carb won by an overwhelming vote. I can’t say I’m too surprised though, it’s definitely the popular diet a the moment. And for the record, my guinea pig/taste tester (the husband) voted for it so he is happy it won.

Chicken thighs replaces beef in this cleaned up version of the famous Mississippi roast recipe. This keto chicken recipe is also both paleo and whole30.

before

If this recipe looks familiar it’s because all I did was take my Slow Cooker Mississippi Roast (Paleo/Whole30) recipe and swap out the roast with chicken thighs.  My version uses homemade ranch mix, homemade onion mix, and homemade ghee instead of butter. Below are the homemade dry mixes. There are tons of different variations of these mixes out there. If you don’t like one of these, I suggest you look for another one on Pinterest. I do not use dry buttermilk in my homemade dry ranch mix because…I can never find it!

Homemade Dry Ranch Mix
2 tbsp dried, chopped onions
1 tbsp parsley
1 tbsp chives
1 tbsp dill weed
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp salt

Homemade Dry Onion Soup Mix
1/4 cup dried, chopped onions
1 tbsp parsley
2 tbsp onion powder
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder

Divina has an all-natural sliced pepperoncini product that is whole30 compliant.

The ghee amount is a bit of a range being listed as 2-4 tbsp. I want to leave it up to you. I personally like mine a little less on the buttery side so I use 3 tbsps that I dollop across the top of the thighs.

Serve this keto chicken in a lettuce wrap, over zoodles, with mashed cauliflower or cauliflower rice. The possibilities are endless.
