Low Carb Pizza Chicken {Keto recipe}
Description
Low Carb Pizza Chicken is prepared by baking chicken breasts in a seasoned tomato sauce made with tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, chopped onion, garlic salt, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. The slow baking infuses the chicken with the sauce's flavor and keeps it moist. After the initial bake, the chicken is topped generously with shredded mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices, then returned to the oven briefly to melt the cheese and warm the pepperoni.
This preparation results in tender, juicy chicken breasts that carry the savory flavors of a classic pizza topping combination. The tomato sauce adds moisture and tang, while the cheese and pepperoni complement with richness and spice.
It can be served as a low-carb main dish for dinner, possibly paired with a side of vegetables or salad. The recipe allows customization with additional pizza toppings such as green peppers, black olives, ground sausage, or hamburger for variety.
Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to five days, making it convenient for meal prep and easy reheating without loss of flavor.
