Description
A delicious and healthy keto-friendly meal featuring baked chicken breasts topped with sautéed spinach and cherry tomatoes, finished with melted cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup spinach leaves
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (like mozzarella or cheddar)
- Fresh herbs for garnish (like parsley or basil)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rub each chicken breast with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure to coat both sides of the chicken well.
- Bake the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and is cooked through.
- Sauté the Vegetables: While the chicken is baking, heat a pan over medium heat. Add a splash of olive oil and then toss in the spinach and cherry tomatoes. Sauté until the spinach is wilted and the tomatoes are just soft, about 5-7 minutes.
- Assemble the Dish: Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and place it on a plate. Top each chicken breast with the sautéed vegetables and sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
- Final Melt: Return the plate to the oven for about 5 more minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh herbs, and enjoy your simple keto meal!
