Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Other

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken evenly and thoroughly.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry using paper towels to ensure a nice browning and better seasoning adherence.
  3. Mix Spices: In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful seasoning blend.
  4. Season Chicken: Rub the spice mixture evenly over all sides of the chicken breasts so that each piece is well coated with the seasoning.
  5. Prepare the Baking Dish: Pour the melted unsalted butter into a large baking dish and spread it to coat the bottom, adding richness and preventing sticking.
  6. Arrange Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts into the baking dish on top of the melted butter, spaced evenly.
  7. Add Parmesan: Generously sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over each chicken breast to create a crispy, flavorful crust as it bakes.
  8. Bake the Chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the cheese is golden.
  9. Garnish: Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top before serving for a fresh herbal note.
  10. Serve: Serve the Keto Garlic Parmesan Chicken immediately while hot for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked thoroughly to 165°F for food safety.
  • For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken breasts in melted butter and spices for 30 minutes prior to baking.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad to keep the meal keto-friendly.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Make sure to pat dry the chicken well to achieve a golden-brown crust.
