These oven roasted chicken breasts are a low carb and keto meal that is delicious, quick and easy. They are like un-stuffed chicken, using a sun dried tomato and cheesy spinach topping.
This recipe is excellent if you’re searching for simple and effortless weeknight dinner thoughts. It is possible to round out a low-carb meal by serving them with appetizers like keto friendly garlic knots and snacks, as well as sides such as cauliflower mashed”potatoes” or roasted cauliflower florets.
That is where this recipe comes from. They taste just like cheese and spinach stuffed chicken breasts, minus the effort. The”stuffing” is only a cheesy topping you may quickly spread along with the chicken bits. It remains on easily, and does not slide off during baking or once you cut the chicken into pieces.
Tips for baking chicken breasts?
- Do not overlook the cooling time. I typically allow the chicken rest for 5minutes after baking and before cutting . This prevents the chicken from discharging liquid, producing juicier meat.
- If your chicken-breasts are larger or smaller than suggested here, you are going to need to alter the baking-time accordingly.
- The key to perfectly baked chicken-breasts is time. When choosing chicken, follow the recipe directions for the correct thickness and weight.
- One other important element is your oven temperature. I discover that warmer temperatures result in much more moist and tender chicken breasts in comparison to lower temperatures, that I utilize 425°F rather than something similar to 350°F.
