Method
 

  1. Prepare Chicken: Clean, pat dry, and season the chicken with salt, pepper, and desired spices or marinades.
  2. Add Fat Sources: Use olive oil, butter, or avocado oil to maintain moisture and meet keto fat needs.
  3. Cook:
    Bake at 375°F–400°F for 25–30 minutes, or
    Slow cook for 3–4 hours on low, or
    Pan-sear for crispy edges before baking.
  4. Add Toppings or Fillings: Depending on the recipe, layer cheese, bacon, or creamy sauces over chicken.
  5. Check Temperature: Use a thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Serve: Pair with roasted low-carb vegetables, cauliflower rice, or zucchini noodles.

Notes

  • Use almond flour instead of breadcrumbs for keto-friendly coatings.
  • Add healthy fats like olive oil or cheese to meet keto macronutrient goals.
  • Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 4 days in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer.
  • For best results, reheat gently with a splash of broth or cream to maintain tenderness.
  • Use global spice blends (e.g., curry, fajita, or Mediterranean herbs) to add variety.
