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.

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.

Really good and the anchovies you could barley taste but all in all a fabulous meal!

So satisfying, it's rich, a little salty and savory. I paired this with califlower mash and corn for my family members. Outstanding, simple. Next time I will add the anchovy which I did not have, and if added I don't think it would be too salty.

This was amazing! I'm not a fan of anchovies but you can't even taste them. It mostly has an olive taste. Just delicious! Even the kids ate it 🙌

I leave the anchovies out! This is one of my favorites! I can eat this meal 2-3 a week. Absolutely DELICIOUS!

I’ve never cooked with anchovies before, but they are so healthy I’m going to give it a try. Do I need to cut them up before adding them to the sauce, or will they just naturally break up by themselves while they cook?

they should nicely melt into your sauce

I doubled the sauce so my bf could put over egg noodles and I put over cauliflower rice. Only added one 2 ounce can of Cento anchovies. It was amazing! Very mild like a DELICIOUS bisque. Great recipe. Highly recommend

Tried it today and an instant hit with all family members. I didn’t put any salt in the sauce. The capers and olive brought a lot of flavors to the dish.
