Keto Juicy Baked Chicken Breast

Keto Juicy Baked Chicken Breast

As easy as it sounds, baking chicken breast in oven needs a good recipe and careful instructions. It turns into a dry chewy mess with no flavor then you will have to smear it with mayo to salvage.

And I know chicken legs or chicken brown meat parts are more Keto, more flavorful, juicier and definitely less error prone but I still regularly  get chicken breast during my grocery trips.

TOOLS and GADGETS

  • Sheet pan
  • Aluminum foil
  • Parchment Paper
  • Measuring Spoons

 

TIPS and SUBSTITUTIONS

  • You can replace allulose with some brown sugar substitute. Or even you can use 2 table spoon of regular brown sugar together with 1/2 tsp cinnamon. It will increase the carb amount to about 4, cinnamon will prevent blood glucose spike.
  • Don't worry about chicken turning sweet. It won't. It will be savory and very delicious
  • Allulose will help with juiciness of the chicken while keeping it covered and adding its own
  • Do not overcook, nothing can help an overcooked chicken breast. Once the tops turn caramel color, remove it from the oven
  • Even thickness is important since thicker parts take more time to cook, thinner parts will dry out while thicker parts cook appropriately 
  • Play with herbs, add more of the ones you like make it your own
