This Keto Chicken Thighs with Mozzarella Cheese Will Be Your New Favorite Easy Dinner Recipe

I’m going to get straight to the point here. This recipe for Keto Chicken Thighs with Mozzarella Cheese is so freaking simple I hate to call it a “recipe” – but, if I did, I’d have to report that it is an easy low carb one-skillet style dinner that you can make in 40 minutes – with 1 net carb and 8 WW SmartPoints per serving.

Here’s where most bloggers go into the features and benefits of their recipe, along with a “story” of how their combination of flavors is the Holy Grail.

Or trail off into what I like to call – the nobody cares, can you cut to the recipe, puh-leeze zone. 

Not that I haven’t been guilty of that a time or two:)

But not today – because I know you need food – not the backstory on how chicken thighs are affordable or prioritizing family dinner because a family that eats together stays together. (Even though that is #truth.)

What You Need To Make This Easy Dinner

3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided

2 lbs. Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs

1½ Tablespoon Italian Seasoning, divided

Sea Salt and Black Pepper, to taste

3 Tablespoons Butter (unsalted is better for you, but salted works too) 

¼ Cup Chicken broth, preferably organic, but again – we’re using what we have here

½ Cup Multi-Colored Cherry tomatoes, quartered or Sliced Tomatoes (the quartered cherry tomatoes are low key there for visual appeal – so use what you have:) 

8 oz. Fresh Mozzarella cheese, sliced or use shredded – I’ve tried it both ways, and I enjoy both 

½ Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
