Even if you’re not trying to follow a keto or low carb diet, you’re going to love this easy way to make chicken in the oven. You simply mix together the cream cheese and pesto and slather it on the chicken. Top with mozzarella and bake! That’s it.
You can serve this with a low carb side like cauliflower rice, salad or veggies, or serve it with a side of pasta or rice for the rest of the family. Either way, it’s pretty dang good.My entire family loves this recipe. It’s kid-friendly and husband approved! I serve it with pasta for my daughter, and then my husband and I eat it with either cauliflower rice or salad.
