This Keto Lemon Garlic Chicken Recipe is definitely a must try meal idea for you and your family!  Even our non-keto friends really enjoy this healthy meal idea!

If you are looking for a chicken recipe that isn’t boring, this one is packed with flavor!  We make this meal at least once a week.  There are many different ways to make chicken dinner ideas but this one is most definitely a favorite!  Plus, there’s just something special about making a meal in a cast iron skillet.  It adds a whole new flavor to the dinner that is cooked in it.  If you don’t have a cast iron skillet yet, I highly suggest getting one!
