Keto Sheet Pan Chicken Dinner Recipes

KETO SMOKY CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE SHEET PAN DINNER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Combine broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage in a large bowl. Whisk olive oil, salt, and paprika together in a measuring cup and pour over vegetables. Gently stir until all of the vegetables are coated. Set aside.
• Combine chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder on a flat plate. Roll each chicken thigh in the spice mixture so that both sides are coated. Wrap 2 pieces of bacon around each thigh and place chicken in the center of the baking sheet.
• Stir vegetables one last time and scatter them around the chicken in an even layer.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is crispy and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 35 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

KETO SHEET PAN CHICKEN DINNER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a 12x18-inch rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Combine garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper in a bowl. Sprinkle over both sides of chicken tenders. Wrap each tender with a slice of bacon and set in the middle of the baking sheet.
• Place halved asparagus spears on one side of the chicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil.
• Place riced cauliflower on the other side of the chicken and season with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 13 to 15 minutes, stirring cauliflower and asparagus halfway through.
• Set oven to broil and cook until bacon is browned and sizzling and chicken is no longer pink in the center, an additional 2 to 3 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Remove from oven and drizzle tenders with hot sauce. Serve immediately, or divide into storage containers and refrigerate.

KETO SHEET PAN CHICKEN AND LOADED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the chicken thighs, olive oil, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and paprika in a medium bowl and toss to coat evenly. Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.
• If necessary, remove the outer leaves from the head of cauliflower, then cut it into quarters, leaving the inner stem intact so that the florets do not separate.
• Put the chicken thighs skin-side up on one side of the baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Drizzle any leftover marinade over the chicken. Put the cauliflower on the other side of the baking sheet, with one cut-side down. Brush each cauliflower piece with melted butter and sprinkle evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Put the bacon on the edge of the baking sheet and bake until browned and crisp, 15 to 17 minutes. Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Return the baking sheet to the oven until the chicken is cooked through and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part not touching the bone, 25 to 30 minutes more. The cauliflower should be lightly browned and cooked through.
• When the bacon is cool enough to handle, roughly chop it.
• Before removing the baking sheet from the oven, carefully lay a slice of Cheddar on each cauliflower piece and return to the oven until melted, about 1 minute.
• For serving, top each cauliflower with 1 tablespoon sour cream and a sprinkle of the bacon and chives.
