Keto Chicken Margherita

Keto Chicken Margherita recipe is easy to make, delicious and tastes like summer. Besides, it’s keto! Juicy chicken breasts are rubbed with garlic powder and Italian seasoning and topped with melted mozzarella cheese. This scrumptious dish features green basil pesto, ripe cherry tomatoes, and lots of fresh basil too. Some days I use our chef-approved recipe for zucchini pesto, and other times the jarred store-bought pesto. Whichever way, it is delicious! To top things off, sprinkle some Reggiano Parmigiano and serve with mixed salad greens. Perfection!

This low-carb and high in protein dish is a breeze to make and delicious to boot. It is made from scratch and uses simple ingredients. Bonus, this Italian-inspired chicken recipe is ready to serve in about a half hour. It is one of those recipes that is great for a weeknight dinner. Enjoy!
