One Skillet Low Carb Chicken & Brussels Sprouts

Busy evenings call for fast meals and easy cleanup. Am I right, or amiright?? And there’s nothing easier than a one skillet meal!

We’re a pretty big fan of Brussels sprouts over here. They’re easy, versatile, and pretty delicious. Smother them in a creamy Parmesan sauce and they’re even better!

I like to save my bacon grease for later use. If you’re keto, I’m sure you do the same! I greatly dislike recipes that call for bacon grease and bacon crumbles, because…uhhh, bacon. Who can save the bacon to crumble for later?! I like to keep a store-bought bag of bacon crumbles on hands for times like this.

Heat your bacon grease on medium heat in an iron skillet. If you do not have bacon grease, butter will also work. Sauté your washed and sliced Brussels sprouts and your diced chicken in the grease, with some garlic and onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste.

You want to get a nice crisp on your chicken and your Brussels sprouts.

When your chicken and veggies are fully cooked, add some heavy cream and shaved Parmesan cheese and gently stir. It will thicken to a decadent, cheesy sauce. Serve hot and enjoy!
