Baked Pesto Chicken, Low Carb Recipe

Baked Pesto Chicken (Low Carb Recipe)


Baked Pesto Chicken (Low Carb Recipe)

This Baked Pesto Chicken is an effortless and flavorful low-carb recipe that's perfect for weeknights or entertaining. With just a handful of ingredients, you'll have a cheesy, savory dish ready in no time.

Ingredients (Serves 4):

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup basil pesto (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: Cherry tomatoes, sliced (for garnish)
  • Fresh basil, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or nonstick spray.

  2. Prepare the Chicken:

    • Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place them in the prepared baking dish.

  3. Add the Pesto:

    • Spread an even layer of pesto over the top of each chicken breast.

  4. Top with Cheese:

    • Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the pesto-covered chicken. Follow with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

  5. Bake:

    • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). If desired, broil for the last 2-3 minutes to make the cheese golden and bubbly.

  6. Serve:

    • Garnish with cherry tomato slices and fresh basil, if using. Serve alongside a green salad, cauliflower rice, or roasted vegetables for a complete low-carb meal.

Tips:

  • For juicier chicken, use chicken thighs instead of breasts.
  • Add a layer of sliced zucchini or spinach under the chicken for extra veggies.
  • Make it dairy-free by using a vegan pesto and cheese substitute.

Enjoy your delicious and easy Baked Pesto Chicken—a simple, satisfying, and low-carb delight! 🌿🍗
