A simple, oven-baked chicken dish featuring a rich, creamy sauce flavored with garlic and herbs, suitable for a ketogenic diet.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned. Place the seared chicken in the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic until smooth.
  5. Stir the fresh spinach into the cream cheese mixture.
  6. Spoon the creamy garlic herb mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the baking dish.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a low-carb side, serve this chicken with steamed broccoli or roasted asparagus tossed in butter.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, reduce the heavy cream slightly or add an extra ounce of cream cheese.
  • You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts; adjust the baking time as needed.
