About
This keto chicken is loaded with pizza inspired toppings of mushrooms, red onion, spinach, tomato and oozy melted cheese.
This makes for a simple yet flavorful dish, perfect served with a side salad or steamed green vegetables.
Ingredients
- 2 medium – split chicken breast, skin removed before cooking
- 2 medium mushrooms
- 1 ½ ounce mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon rosemary, fresh
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon oregano, dried
- ½ cup baby spinach
- ¼ medium – 2 1/2" diameter red onion
- ⅛ teaspoon salt, sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and flatten using a meat mallet or rolling pin to an even thickness – roughly 1/2 an inch.
- Divide the tomato paste between the two chicken breasts, spreading across the surface of each.
- Tear the mozzarella into small chunks and arrange across the chicken. Sprinkle over the dried oregano. Season with a little salt and pepper and transfer the chicken to the oven for 15 minutes to bake.
- Whilst the chicken is cooking, heat the olive oil in a skillet over a low/medium heat. Roughly slice the onions and mushrooms and finely chop the rosemary. Add to the skillet and cook gently until just tender and the mushrooms have browned a little.
- Add the spinach and remove from the heat, stirring until just wilted.
- After 15 minutes remove the chicken from the oven and divide the mushroom mixture between the two.
- Transfer to the oven for a further 7 minutes or until the chicken is completely cooked through.
