Keto chicken Tonnato

55 minutes
Calories: 440kcal

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons capers (small)
  • 4 ounces tuna packed in olive oil
  • 2 garlic (clovegarlic cloves)
  • 4 tablespoons fresh basil (small)
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken (small)
  • 7 ounces dark leafy greens

Instructions

  • Mix all the ingredients for the sauce with an immersion blender or in a food processor.
  • Reserve the tonnato sauce in order to let the flavors develop. Put the chicken breasts in a pot with just enough lightly salted water to cover it.
  • (If you’re using precooked chicken then skip this step.) Bring the water to a boil and discard the foam appearing on the surface. Let simmer on medium heat for about 15 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through.
  • If you’re using a meat thermometer, it should say 165°F (75°C) when done.
  • Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve with extra capers and a wedge of fresh lemon.
