Moroccan Lemon Chicken and Tomato Campanelle
(All Keto)
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken breast halves
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 shallot, chopped
1 preserved lemon, inside discarded, skin thinly sliced
1/2 cup pitted mixed marinated olives, halved
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
1 cup white wine
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
4 sprigs oregano
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
Directions
- Heat the oil a medium straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Dry the chicken breasts well and sprinkle evenly with the salt. Place the breasts skin-side down in the hot pan and cook undisturbed until deep golden brown, about 6 minutes. Using tongs, flip the chicken to the bone side and continue to cook for another 5 minutes. Remove to a plate while you build the sauce.
- In the same pan, add the onions and garlic, stirring occasionally, for a minute. Add lemon, olives and sun-dried tomatoes and stir to combine. Deglaze with the white wine (or chicken broth), scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Simmer for 3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Add the chicken broth and return to a simmer.
- Add the oregano and the chicken back to the sauce. Spoon some of the liquid over the chicken. Cover the pan and simmer gently until an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees F, about 25 minutes
- Allow the chicken to rest in the sauce for 10 minutes. Stir in the parsley.
- Serve the chicken with a generous helping of the sauce.
Tomato Campanelle
We love Italian but the noodles are a challenge for Keto lifestyles. We love these noodles. We buy them at a Vietnamese store. The are low carb and delicious! You can use any type of noodle you like.
We use 1/2 a bag for 3-4 servings of the noodles. We soak them for about 5 min, while the water is coming to a boil. Boil them by the directions. About 5 min. Drain and use you would any other noodle.
