Keto Italian Chicken Skewers The meat turns out unbelievably juicy and tender, with a delicious aroma from the Italian herbs and lemon.
While protein is important in any diet, the quito lifestyle is not about proteins as much as the good balance of proteins and healthy fats. For this reason in this recipe we use a good amount of extra virgin olive oil and serum.
Why do you have chicken in BUTTERMILK?
Because the milk is low in acidity, it is able to soften the meat without kneading the meat as if you were using lemon juice only. The enzymes in the whey also help break the protein in the chicken, leading to soft meat.
What can I use as an alternative to Buttermil?
For each cup of yogurt, you can mix a tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar with one cup of milk. Stir, then let stand for 5 minutes. Use them in recipes.
