This Simple Caramelized Chicken Breast recipe can easily be your go-to method for making a Keto-friendly chicken dinner. It’s high in protein and low in carbs, but still has a great flavor from the addition of onion, garlic, and paprika. What’s more, tipping in some sugar means you get a wonderful caramelization on the chicken, leaving you with a sweet taste with just a hint of heat from the spices.
It’s very simple to make, so while you get creative with the other elements of your dish, or even just cook some easy steamed vegetables, you know you will have a juicy spiced chicken breast to brighten up your meal!
To make my Simple Caramelized Chicken Breast, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Lightly grease a baking tray.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the ingredients for the rub.
Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and rub in with your hands. Sprinkle the rub over the chicken until coated all over.
Lay the chicken breasts on the baking tray, without overlapping. Bake for 10 minutes, before turning the breasts over and baking for a further 5-10 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked. You can test the chicken by inserting a thermometer into the center - it should read a minimum of 165°F.
Remove from oven and leave to rest for 5-10 minutes, before slicing and serving.
