Juicy chicken topped with a creamy keto-friendly Green Goddess sauce made with avocado, fresh herbs, lemon, and garlic. Perfect for weeknight dinners or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale

For the chicken:

  • 4 chicken breasts or thighs

  • 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

For the Green Goddess sauce:

  • 1 medium ripe avocado

  • ½ cup mayonnaise (full-fat)

  • ¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (unsweetened)

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • 2 garlic cloves

  • ¼ cup fresh parsley

  • ¼ cup fresh basil

  • 2 tbsp fresh chives

  • 2 tbsp fresh tarragon (optional)

  • 2 anchovy fillets or 1 tsp anchovy paste (optional but adds flavor)

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken dry. Rub with oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (165°F internal). Thick breasts may need extra oven time at 375°F.

  3. In a blender, combine all sauce ingredients. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  4. Slice chicken, drizzle with Green Goddess sauce, and garnish with extra herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Chicken thighs stay juicier than breasts.

  • Store sauce separately; it keeps 3 days in the fridge.

  • Works great for meal prep, salads, or even as a dip.

  • Anchovy is optional but adds depth (not fishy).
