Keto Pesto Chicken – Important Tips

Pesto – Prepare fresh homemade pesto sauce or use store-bought, but make sure to check the label for its 100% keto authenticity.

Chicken – Any cut of the chicken will work, I use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts to get more juiciness and flavor. The boneless, skinless chicken will also work.

Tomato – I use cherry tomatoes, and I love them, If you prefer, you can use seeded diced tomatoes.

Parmesan Cheese – Use freshly grated or shredded parmesan. For a dairy-free option, omit the mozzarella.

Can I make this keto pesto chicken casserole ahead of time?

Yes of course! Make an entire batch of the recipe ahead of time and then microwave or reheat in the oven when you are ready to serve.

Pack them in air-tight containers and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze it, but leave out the tomatoes and cheese, add them during reheating.

How to serve this low carb pesto chicken?
