Low Carb Keto Garlic Parmesan Chicken
Description
This recipe centers on baking chicken breasts coated with a full-flavored garlic Parmesan mixture. Cream cheese and sour cream form a smooth base combined with pressed garlic, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese. After spreading this mixture over the chicken, shredded mozzarella and additional Parmesan are sprinkled on top to create a golden, bubbly crust.
The baking process at 375˚F ensures the chicken cooks through while the creamy topping thickens and browns gently. The cheese adds a savory sharpness, balanced by fresh garlic, resulting in a satisfying, moist entrée.
Serve this dish warm with low-carb vegetables or side salads for a fulfilling meal. The recipe suggests using thinner chicken pieces for faster cooking and easier portioning. Leftovers keep well refrigerated and can be frozen for longer storage, making this a practical option for meal prep.
