Ingredients

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts: 600g

Your favorite keto-friendly salsa: 240ml (ensure the salsa has no added sugar or hidden carbs)

Olive oil: 1 tbsp

Chili powder: 1 tsp

Cumin: 1/2 tsp

Garlic powder: 1/2 tsp

Onion powder: 1/4 tsp

Salt: To taste

Pepper: To taste

Optional: Shredded cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack cheese for topping: 60g

Optional: Chopped cilantro for garnish

Cooking Instructions

    1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This will help them brown nicely.

    2. Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts. This spice rub adds layers of flavor to thesalsa chicken.

    3. Sear the Chicken:Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until lightly browned.Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.

    4. Add Salsa and Simmer: Pour the keto-friendly salsa over the chicken in the skillet. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let the chicken simmer in the salsa for 15-20 minutes, or until it is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Thesimmered salsa chicken allows the flavor to infuse.

    5. Optional Cheese Topping: If desired, sprinkle shredded cheese over the chicken during the last few minutes of cooking. Cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt.

    6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat and let thesalsa chicken rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.

      Pro Tips

      For a spicier dish, use a hot salsa or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the spice rub.

      If you don't have a skillet, you can also bake the chicken in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes.

      Consider using chicken thighs instead of breasts for a richer flavor.

      To make this dish in a slow cooker, place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker, pour the salsa over them, and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.

      Use your preferred keto-friendly cheese, such as mozzarella or provolone, for a different flavor profile.
