Keto Pesto Chicken with Mozzarella

This Keto Pesto Chicken with Mozzarella is a low-carb, high-flavor recipe that combines tender chicken breasts with rich pesto and gooey mozzarella cheese. It's perfect for a quick and healthy dinner.


Ingredients (Serves 4):

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup basil pesto (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Optional garnish: fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
  2. Season the Chicken:

    • Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Sear the Chicken:

    • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove from heat and transfer to the prepared baking dish.
  4. Add Pesto and Cheese:

    • Spread a generous layer of pesto over each chicken breast. Top with shredded mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
  5. Bake the Chicken:

    • Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Garnish and Serve:

    • Garnish with fresh basil leaves for added flavor and presentation. Serve immediately.

Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with roasted vegetables, cauliflower rice, or a simple green salad.
  • Serve alongside zoodles (zucchini noodles) or spaghetti squash for a keto-friendly pasta alternative.

Tips

  • Thinner Chicken: For quicker cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before seasoning.
  • Extra Flavor: Use a combination of cheeses like provolone or cheddar for a twist.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.

This Keto Pesto Chicken with Mozzarella is a creamy, cheesy delight that’s sure to satisfy. Enjoy a guilt-free, flavor-packed meal! 🐔🌿🧀
