The Best Keto Greek Chicken
A simple, flavourful keto meal that you’ll love!
Keto Greek Chicken is a staple recipe in my house. The flavours are so delicious that it is the perfect recipe for when we have company over.
We often have all the ingredients on hand which makes it even easier. I find recipes like keto greek chicken, that have the most basic ingredients to be the most delicious! The only fresh ingredients you need on hand are the chicken and the lemon – the rest are pantry staples!
I used trulocal chicken that was delivered to my door! If you’d like to try out the grade A meat from Trulocal, please use this link and my affiliate code: KETOINCANADA10 to save 10% off your first order and get a free pack of bacon!
You can substitute any chicken for this dish, or even pork however chicken thighs were MADE for a dish like this!

Keto Greek Chicken
Keto Greek Chicken Ingredient List
5 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or any other chicken/pork.
5 metal or wooden skewers (optional if bbqing the chicken)
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
Zest of half a lemon - You can use a zester
Juice from 1/2 a lemon - You can use you hand or a lemon juicer
1 clove of garlic chopped (can use minced, or dried garlic as well)
1 tbsp fresh or dried rosemary
1/2 tbsp fresh or dried oregano
1/2 tbsp Himalayan pink salt
1 tsp pepper
Olive oil for the grill
Tzatziki (I like the Summerfresh brand)
Greek Dressing (Renee’s makes a great one!)
Keto Greek Chicken Instructions
Cut your chicken thighs into 1" chunks if making skewers.
Slide 6 - 7 chicken pieces onto the skewers
Combine remaining ingredients and whisk to combine
Place skewers into a shallow baking dish or other container (glass or plastic preferred) and pour marinade over the top. Ideally the skewers will be completely covered.
Marinate chicken for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
Pre-heat BBQ to medium high
Brush the grill with olive oil so the chicken skewers don't stick
Place each skewer on the grill for 6 - 8 minutes. Keep a close eye on them so that they do not burn.
Flip each skewer for another 6-8 minutes until the internal temperature is 165 degrees F
Enjoy! Add tzatziki dressing (I like SummerFresh from Wall-Mart) for the most delicious meal!
I had this with a simple greek salad with romaine lettuce, tomatoes, feta cheese. I also pan fried some riced cauliflower in butter with salt and pepper.
Enjoy!
