Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Colby Jack
  • ½ cup cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley optional

Instructions
 

Preheat and Prep

  • I preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and pat 4 chicken breasts dry, seasoning with 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, salt, and pepper for this simple recipe.

Cook Bacon

  • In a skillet over medium heat, I cook 6 bacon slices until crispy, reserving 1 tbsp grease, then set bacon aside on paper towels for this keto chicken dish.

Sear Chicken

  • I add 1 tbsp olive oil to the skillet if needed, searing chicken 3–4 minutes per side until golden, then remove from heat for this low-carb family dinner.

Make Cheese Sauce

  • In a bowl, I mix ½ cup softened cream cheese and ¼ cup heavy cream until smooth, spreading over chicken for this easy keto meal.

Top and Bake

  • I crumble bacon and sprinkle 1 cup cheddar over chicken, baking 15–20 minutes until 165°F internally for this Keto Cheesy Bacon Chicken.

Garnish and Serve

  • I garnish with 1 tbsp parsley and serve hot for this simple recipe.

Notes

  • Do not overcook the chicken when searing—it finishes cooking in the oven.
  • Use full-fat cream and cheese for best keto results.
  • Grate your own cheese for better melting and no added starches.
  • Add sautéed spinach or roasted veggies for a one-pan meal.
  • This dish stores and reheats well—perfect for meal prep!
