Keto Scampi-Style Chicken

Dip chicken pieces in beaten egg followed by almond flour. Set aside while oil heats.

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil until it shimmers. Brown half the chicken pieces until golden brown on both sides, being careful not to burn the almond flour. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. Wipe pan to remove any remaining almond flour and repeat with remaining chicken.

Wipe out pan to remove any remaining almond flour. Add remaining tablespoons of oil in skillet and saute red bell peppers with a pinch of salt and pepper for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently. Add sliced garlic and stir constantly for 1 full minute. Add chicken broth and parsley and allow mixture to bubble until it thickens and reduces by half. Reduce heat to a simmer and stir in butter. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.

Return chicken to pan and simmer for 2–5 minutes, covered, until chicken is heated through. Stir well and squeeze fresh lemon juice over chicken before serving (optional).
