Keto Puttanesca Chicken Breasts
What’s in a Puttanesca sauce? This buttery tomato sauce is richly flavored with garlic and anchovies, then tossed with chopped olives, capers, and spices. Spoon this sauce over seasoned chicken breasts for a savory, flavorful main course.
How to Make It
Step 1
Make the Puttanesca sauce right away by melting the butter in a pan over low heat on the stove. Stir minced garlic and sliced anchovies into the butter and let them turn golden and fragrant – about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in the diced tomatoes, chopped green olives, capers, and red pepper flakes. Cook over low heat for about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Stir the cream into the pan and simmer over low heat until you have a thickened sauce.
Step 4
Preheat an oven to 375 degrees. Lay 2, 5-oz chicken breasts in a glass baking dish lined with pan spray. Season the chicken with the salt, pepper, italian seasoning, and onion powder.
Step 5
Spoon equal amounts of Puttanesca sauce over each chicken breast. Cover the tray with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Pull the dish out of the oven and sprinkle about 2 TB of mozzarella on top of each chicken breast.
Step 6
Leave the dish uncovered and bake for an extra 15 minutes. Serve hot.
