For a simple but flavorful meal, you will love this chicken and vegetables recipe. The bacon and the chicken fat adds extra deliciousness to the vegetables.
If you like your vegetables crunchier, you can bake the chicken thighs for about 15 minutes and then add the veggies. Just be careful when you add them as it’s going to be hot.
You don’t have to use only these vegetables. You can use any type of keto-friendly vegetables that you like, just be aware of how long you bake them.
If you use boneless thighs, reduce the baking time to about 25 minutes.
