Keto Chicken Diane

This keto chicken Diane is a delicious and easy-to-make dish for busy weeknights. It is a spinoff of the classic steak Diane dish, which was once a popular dish served in upscale restaurants in big cities like New York City in the 1950s. 

However, this low-carb chicken Diane is a simpler adaptation of the original classic recipe, where we won’t be adding brandy or thickening the sauce with flour and using chicken breasts.

Made with tender sautéed chicken breasts and a creamy mushroom sauce, chicken Diane has a reputation for being a more fancy dish. Thankfully, it’s a low-carb and gluten-free recipe.

So, whether you’re looking for a quick and easy meal or a dish to impress your guests, Chicken Diane is a great option.

Keto Chicken Diane

Not only is this an easy dish, but it’s also packed with protein and healthy fats, making it a great option for anyone following a keto or low-carb diet.

Plus, the combination of chicken and mushrooms is a classic flavor pairing that’s sure to please even picky eaters.

The recipe calls for flattened chicken breasts, but feel free to use skinless chicken thighs if that’s your preference.

But the real star of the show is the mushroom sauce. Made with butter, garlic, sliced mushrooms, heavy cream, and chicken broth, this sauce is rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor.

The sauce is thickened with a combo of heavy cream and parmesan cheese without the need to add flour or cornstarch, allowing it to be not only low in carbs but gluten-free!

I promise it’s just as flavorful a sauce as its high-carb counterpart. You’re welcome!

How To Make Keto-Friendly Chicken Diane

Begin by cutting each chicken breast in half horizontally to create six pieces. Pound each piece to an equal thickness using a meat mallet or the smooth side of a cook’s knife. 

Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add oil. 

Cook each chicken breast for about three minutes without turning until lightly golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional three minutes until equally browned on the other side. 

Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts, then transfer them to a plate and set aside.

Add unsalted butter to the same pan over medium-high heat to make the Diane sauce. 

Cook the mushroom slices, shallots, and garlic for a few minutes until the mushrooms are brown. Add chicken broth, Dijon mustard, heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice to deglaze the pan, scraping the bottom of the pan to incorporate all the browned bits. 

Reduce the heat to a low simmer and let the sauce cook for three to five minutes until it thickens slightly. 

Once the sauce has thickened, return the chicken breasts to the pan, coating them with the sauce. Serve this delicious recipe over a bed of cauliflower mash or cauliflower rice.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days or freeze for up to three weeks.

Join Our Jesus And Keto Movement 

Our family came to the keto diet looking at it from a Christian perspective; it’s the filter we choose to see from.

When we decided to combine our Christian faith and the keto diet, we did so in hopes of finding lasting transformation.

To say we needed God’s intervention is to put it mildly. When we followed the Holy Spirit’s lead to embrace the ketogenic diet and combine it with our faith, we got on the path to fundamental transformation. 

If you are looking for a Christian group that is using the keto diet to transform their lives, we invite you to join our Private Facebook Group and see if it’s not the key you have been missing.
