This is my absolute favourite keto meal! The calories are high on this dish so it’s important for me to take that into account otherwise I undo some of my hard work!
Are you looking for a spicy and flavourful keto dinner that’s quick and easy to make? This Keto Jalapeno Chicken Bake is sure to hit the spot! Tender chicken breasts are topped with spicy jalapenos, and creamy cheese for a delicious, low-carb meal that’s perfect for busy weeknights. Simply layer the chicken with the jalapenos, and cheese in a baking dish, then bake until golden and bubbly. Serve with a side of fresh low carb salad or steamed green veggies for a complete and satisfying keto-friendly meal.
Whether you’re following a strict keto diet or just looking for a delicious and healthy dinner option, this Keto Jalapeno Chicken Bake is a must-try. So why not give it a go tonight and see for yourself just how delicious and easy keto cooking can be!
The jalapenos add spice, and the cream cheese perfectly counteracts it! I generally purchase the sliced pickled jalapenos from Coles or Woolworths, but you can use fresh if you are growing them in the garden!
This meal is fantastic stored as a frozen prep meal and re-heats well from frozen without splitting.
I hope you enjoy, and this becomes one of your regular recipes as well!
