Keto Italian Hasselback Chicken
Chicken breast is seasoned and prepared for the star of this recipe: heavily seasoned slices of eggplant and zucchini. The slices are wedged into the chicken before baked with a slice of gouda cheese melted over the top. You could pair this with a fatty keto alfredo sauce or pick your favorite Carb Manager side dish.

Preheat an oven to 400 degrees. Start by slicing 16 thin pieces of eggplant and zucchini ¼-inch thick - 8 slices eggplant and 8 slices zucchini (each serving will have 8 slices total). In a bowl, toss the eggplant and zucchini with the olive oil, white wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, salt, pepper, italian seasoning, crushed red pepper, and garlic. Set this aside temporarily.Step 2
Prepare chicken breasts in 5-oz portions. If necessary, you can slice a 10oz chicken breast in half into 2 thinner breasts. Slice 4 openings into each breast, without slicing all the way through. Sprinkle the remaining seasonings over the chicken breasts.Step 3
Set the chicken breasts on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. In each sliced opening, arrange a slice of eggplant and a slice of zucchini. Make sure to scrape any seasonings from the mixing bowl over the chicken.Step 4
Bake the tray of chicken breasts for 25 minutes. Then, lay a slice of gouda cheese over each chicken breast.Step 5
Bake the tray for an additional 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
