Low Carb Meals Instant Pot Honey Lime Chicken Thighs
One of my favorite ways to cook chicken is by tossing some tasty dark meat chicken thighs into my instant pot along with a homemade honey and lime marinade mixture. The tangy taste of the freshly squeezed lime juice blends perfectly with the naturally sweet flavor from the honey. In addition to those two clutch ingredients, the marinade also includes minced garlic, oregano, and a bit of water. Beyond just adding a ton of flavor to the mix, these extra ingredients really help increase the nutrient and antioxidant content of the entire recipe as well. It truly has everything you could ask for from a low carb chicken recipe.
