Let’s talk about our seasoning mix!

I love making homemade seasoning mixes for all kinds of dishes. It’s so much fun to try new combinations, and my family is always my taste testers. The seasoning mix for this chicken is a combination of some of our favorite spices. We combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to make this mix. I love paprika and I love smoked paprika even more, so I added them both to this dish. When making chicken, I like to sprinkle some of the seasoning over the bottom of the baking dish. Then when adding the chicken, I press the pieces down a bit to easily season the bottom of the chicken. Then it’s easy to finish because we just sprinkle the remaining seasoning evenly over the top of the chicken.

This is an easy dish to make and it’s also incredibly low carb. After seasoning the chicken, to create the most amazing skin we top our chicken with butter. When it melts while baking, it gives our chicken an awesome browned and crispy skin. You’ll want to make sure your chicken is cooked to 165 degrees before serving. You can certainly stop here, and you’ll have some delicious and flavorful chicken. It’s so quick and easy, though, to make the sour cream gravy to serve with the chicken. You’ll simply combine the chicken drippings with some sour cream, parsley, and heavy whipping cream in a skillet and cook it over medium high heat for a minute or two until it’s heated through. For your gravy, you can either use all the drippings or can strain the fat from the drippings if you’d prefer.

You have some great low carb options for serving this dish. You can either top your chicken with some gravy or can serve the gravy on the side. I often start meals with a green salad with all our favorite salad toppings. A Caesar salad is always a welcome addition. You can serve this chicken with any low carb vegetable. Some good choices include asparagus, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage dishes, cauliflower, green beans, and spinach. Roasted radishes or boiled radishes are also a super choice for a side.
