Baked Pesto Chicken (Low Carb) Recipe

This baked pesto chicken is a simple, low-carb, and keto-friendly dish that’s packed with flavor. The basil pesto and melted cheese create a deliciously creamy topping for juicy chicken breasts.


Ingredients (Serves 4):

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded to even thickness)
  • 1 cup basil pesto (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: Cherry tomatoes for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.
  2. Prepare Chicken:

    • Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Assemble the Dish:

    • Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Spread about 2 tablespoons of pesto evenly over each piece.
  4. Add Cheese:

    • Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the pesto-covered chicken. Then top with Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor.
  5. Bake:

    • Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Optional Garnish:

    • If using, add cherry tomatoes around the chicken in the last 10 minutes of baking for a pop of color and flavor.
  7. Serve:

    • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon some of the cheesy pesto sauce from the pan over the chicken when plating.

Tips:

  • For extra juiciness, marinate the chicken in a little olive oil and garlic for 1-2 hours before cooking.
  • Pair with zoodles, cauliflower rice, or a fresh green salad for a complete low-carb meal.
  • Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a richer flavor.

Storage:

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.

This baked pesto chicken recipe is a quick, satisfying meal that’s sure to become a favorite for anyone on a low-carb or keto diet! πŸŒΏπŸ—πŸ§€
