Turned out delicious. I did one variation though. I pan fried a chicken for a bit on high flame and after that transferred it to baking dish. It came out nice and juicy from inside.

Looks good, but could you please put the butter measurement (for the garlic butter) in grams/oz as well as, or instead, of in tablespoons? It's really messy and time consuming to measure that much butter that way - way easier to use a kitchen scale. Thank you.

Kristie, it’s easy to use google to convert Tbsp to grams or ounces. I do it all the time. There are on-line converters.

or they could just add the information right here for people so the recipe is more user friendly.... grams for solids is too much to ask??
that converters are available is not the point.5

It can be if that is the amount of fat that adds flavor to your taste and to your satiety. You do not have to use it all, but you may.

One of the most boring and unsatisfying meals we've had from this website, and we've tried a few of them. Don't bother with this one, there are many more that are much, much better!
(Also, why does the 2 week challenge have two meals on the same day with broccoli! That's overkill!)

FYI: 14 Tablespoons of butter is the same as 1 cup.

That's actually a little short. It takes 16 tablespoons of butter to make 1 cup.

Hello! The default recipe makes 4 servings. Each serving is 7 net carbs. The photo shown would be approx. one serving.
