These oven baked chicken breasts are a keto and low carb meal that&#039;s quick, easy, and delicious. The chicken is spread with a cheesy spinach and sun-dried tomato topping.

Oven Baked Chicken Breasts

(8-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts ((Note 1))

chopped fresh spinach, stems removed ((Note 2))

Prepare Chicken: Preheat oven to 425 F. Slice each chicken breast in half; resulting pieces should be no thicker than 1/2 inch (Note 4). If moist, pat dry with paper towels. Spread out chicken pieces in single layer on baking tray lined with parchment paper. Season both sides of chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Make Topping: Cook spinach on skillet on stovetop until wilted. Separately, microwave cream cheese until very soft, about 20 seconds. Stir together cooked spinach, softened cream cheese, cheddar, tomatoes, and garlic in bowl until well-mixed. Evenly spread mixture across tops of chicken pieces.

Bake: Bake uncovered at 425 F until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes, depending on size of chicken pieces. Let cool at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving (Note 5).

EASY BAKED SALSA CHICKEN

Sweet, savory, juicy, and awesomely delicious bacon wrapped chicken dinner prepared with just 5 main ingredients! 

Maple-Glazed Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breasts

(4 ounces each) boneless, skinless chicken breasts

sweet or smoked paprika

bacon

sugar free low carb maple syrup

dijon mustard

cracked pepper, (for topping, optional)

chopped fresh parsley, (for garnish, optional)

Preheat oven to 425˚F.

Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish with butter and set aside.

In a small mixing bowl combine salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Rub each chicken breast with prepared seasoning mix.

Wrap each chicken breast with bacon slices and transfer to prepared baking dish, seam-side down.

In a small mixing bowl whisk together maple syrup and dijon mustard; whisk until well combined.

Brush each chicken breast with maple syrup glaze.

Crack fresh ground pepper over each chicken breast.

Bake for 22 to 25 minutes at 425˚F, or until done, and brush/baste with the juices couple of times during baking. Chicken is done when internal temperature reaches 165˚F. I suggest to start checking for doneness at around the 20-minute mark.

If the bacon is not fully caramelized after cooking, place the baking dish under the broiler for 2 minutes to finish it off.

Remove from oven and let stand 5 to 8 minutes.

Spoon juices over chicken and garnish with chopped parsley.

Tender chicken breasts smothered in a mouthwatering creamy garlic sauce!

Creamy Garlic Sauce Chicken Recipe

(1 pound altogether) boneless, (skinless chicken breasts)

cooking spray

parmesan cheese

Italian Seasoning

sweet paprika

butter, (divided)

garlic

fresh chopped parsley, (for garnish)

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of 1-inch.  Generously spray each chicken breast with cooking spray; set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine cheese, salt, pepper, Italian Seasoning, basil, parsley, and sweet paprika.  Take the seasoning mixture and rub it all over the chicken breasts.

Heat olive oil with 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add chicken to the hot oil and cook for 5 minutes; flip and continue to cook for 5 more minutes, or until golden brown.  Remove chicken from pan; set aside and keep covered.

Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining butter; let it melt.  Stir in the garlic cloves and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until they are lightly browned on the outside. Stir often so you do not burn the garlic.

Add chicken broth or wine to the skillet and let cook for 3 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced.

Stir in the heavy cream and add chicken back into the skillet.  Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the sauce is reduced and chicken is cooked through.

Remove from heat.  Garnish with fresh parsley, and serve.

This warm and comforting Keto Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole is the perfect quick and easy weeknight meal. It has all the traditional flavors of cordon bleu with juicy chicken, salty ham, and melty Swiss cheese, but paired with the hearty goodness of mushrooms, onion, garlic, and cauliflower - finished with a rich tarragon cream sauce and topped with Parmesan cheese. Best of all, it can be on the table in less than 30 minutes.

Keto Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

chicken stock

ham steak, diced

onion

mushrooms

garlic,

Parmesan cheese, divided

sour cream

Swiss cheese, divided

tarragon

sea salt and black pepper,

chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley,

In large skillet over medium-high heat, brown chicken in the butter.  Once the chicken is browned on both sides, add the ham, onion and mushrooms to pan.  Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking until the onions are translucent and soft.

At the same time, steam the head of cauliflower in the chicken stock , in a covered sauce pot over high heat. Steam until the cauliflower is fork tender. Drain the chicken stock from the pan. Leave the cauliflower in the hot pan, but remove the pan from the heat. This will allow some of the excess moisture to continue to evaporate from the cauliflower.  Once nearly all of the liquid is evaporated, fork mash the cauliflower.

In medium sauce pot, combine the heavy cream, garlic, ½ cup Parmesan cheese, sour cream, 2 slices Swiss cheese, tarragon and salt and pepper. Bring to a low boil over medium-high heat and then reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently for 10 minutes or until the sauce has reduced by 1/3 and is thick.

In a 3 quart casserole dish, combine the mashed cauliflower, meat mixture and sauce.  Once all the ingredients are well incorporated, cover the top with remaining Swiss cheese and Parmesan cheese.  Bake for 25 minutes or until the Parmesan cheese on top is golden brown and has formed a crust.

This was absolutely delicious. The whole family loved it. Thank for making low carb comfort food that is easy and tasty.
