Ultimate Keto Cheesy Bacon Chive Chicken
This fantastic recipe is one of those easy Keto meals you can prepare in no time. It's perfectly filling, loaded with fats and proteins – a tremendous dinner option for when you're in a hurry. This meal takes little more than 30 minutes to prepare and will definitely impress everyone with its simple yet deep flavors. We added some dried chives to the cream cheese mixture, but you can experiment with some other fresh or dried herbs for a slightly different flavor. You can also add a pinch of cayenne to this recipe. Serve while fresh and warm. Enjoy!
Can I prepare this recipe in advance?
Absolutely! This is a fantastic recipe to prepare in advance and serve during the week. Store in air-tight containers and refrigerate for a few days. Optionally, you can divide it into portions and freeze it for a super quick and easy dinner everybody will enjoy. When ready to serve, thaw in your oven or microwave. This recipe yields four servings, but you can prepare more if necessary.
How do you customize this recipe?
This lovely recipe is based on chicken breasts and cheese. You can substitute the chicken breasts with boneless and skinless chicken thighs or use turkey instead. You can also add some more cheese or adjust the herbs and spices according to your taste. Enjoy!
