Keto Creamy Tomato Protein Skillet
A pan full of creamy tomato sauce made with whole, roasted tomatoes creates a deliciouis base for chunks of chicken and chopped bacon. On top are slices of hard-boiled eggs for extra protein. This low-carb, high protein Keto recipe is flexible enough to work for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. At breakfast, dip slices of toasted Keto bread into the creamy sauce and eat it with the egg. At lunch or dinner, have a serving with a side salad (Carb Manager has many salad recipes to select from). You can also serve the skillet over cauliflower rice or shirataki noodles. High protein Keto recipes can feed the hungriest among us!
What is a high protein Keto recipe for?
A high protein Keto diet may be for those who are interested in strength training or bodybuilding. Eating a high-protein, Keto diet may also help you transition into a more traditional Keto diet if you have a large appetite. While your diet may not be high in protein overall, you can still enjoy a high protein meal and then eat small meals with little to no protein for the rest of the day.
Meal prep and storage tips
You can easily store this recipe in airtight containers in your refrigerator for up to 5 days. Since the meal is made all in one skillet, just scoop the appropriate amount into meal prep containers for storage. Just microwave to reheat! You can also portion and freeze the skillet meal if you leave off the eggs. You can make the eggs fresh and add them to your reheated meal as well.
Side dish suggestions
Since this skillet already has lots of protein and fat in it, you want to choose a low carb side dish that is free of extra protein. Go simple, and choose a side salad or cup of Keto soup. If you have carbs to spare in your day, you could also pair your meal with one of Carb Manager’s bun or dinner roll recipes. Dip Keto bread into the creamy tomato sauce so you don’t miss out on anything!

Recipe Steps

Step 1
You’ll need to hard-boil eggs for the recipe. You can do this at the beginning or while the rest of the recipe is cooking later on. Once the eggs are cool enough to peel, slice them. You may want to make an even amount of slices since each serving gets about ½ an egg.Step 2
Cut the raw chicken breast into cubes and add it to a mixing bowl. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and mustard powder. Begin heating olive oil in a large saute pan over high heat.Step 3
Once the oil is hot, cook the chicken cubes in the pan. Once the chicken cubes are cooked through and golden on all sides, squeeze the lemon juice into the pan to steam the chicken. Adjust the heat as necessary so you don’t burn your pan.Step 4
Transfer the chicken aside for now, but return the pan with any leftover juices to your stove. Heat the pan again on high heat while you chop your bacon. Cook the bacon in the pan until it’s almost crispy and slightly underdone still.Step 5
Add whole grape tomatoes straight to the hot pan. Cover the pan with a lid and let the tomatoes roast for about 5 minutes or until the skins peel and the tomatoes begin to burst. Stir the pot occasionally to help break down the tomatoes and to keep the bacon from burning.Step 6
Reduce the heat to a low setting and add butter to the pan. Deglaze the pan, then add heavy cream and chicken broth. Season the pan with more garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.Step 7
Bring the ingredients to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Add your chicken cubes back to the pan. Continue simmering the pan while the broth reduces a little and the chicken tenderizes as it heats through.Step 8
Once the broth has reduced to a creamy consistency, add your sliced hard-boiled eggs to the pan. You can layer them on top or nestle them in the sauce. Serve hot with parsley flakes as a garnish.
