This is hands down the best Pesto Chicken I’ve ever had. I ate it on Monday and had the left overs ALL week. It was THAT good! My kids even loved it! I won’t like, I just loooove pesto in general! Have you tried Starbucks tomato & mozzarella panini? You must if you haven’t! It has pesto on it!
The Best Part
This dish is perfectly keto! It’s creamy and cheesy. Man, those are the two best descriptive words a recipe can have in my book.
The Next Best Part
This dish is super simple! All you have to do is boil the chicken and shred it; and then mix all the ingredients, then bake. Speaking of shredding chicken! All these years I have been shredding my chicken with two forks. Now, i’m going to share how i’ve learned a new way of shredding that is so much easier and I think many of you natural cooks out there will chuckle at me <insert laughing emoji here>.
I only got into cooking actual decent recipes right before my weight loss surgery in 2019. I was watching a youtube video with a recipe that required shredding chicken. This lady put the chicken in the mixing stand and it diced and broke, and shredded that chicken up so fast like it was mush. I got ordered this one on amazon and use it all the time now. I am never going back!

I’m Going to Keep This Short
So, if you’re anything like me, you really just want to get to the recipe. For that reason, I’m going to keep this short. You’re welcome haha.
Keto Pest Chicken Bake
I’m super thrilled that this recipe came out to tasty. I mean, I expected it to be good, but not this good. I’m a sucker for creamy chicken casseroles. This one hit all the right spots. Each ingredient blends perfectly with the rest. It’s warm and comfy and pairs nicely with a vegetable or salad.
Meal Prep
I plan on using this dish for meal preps. It makes up to 9 servings and works perfectly for planning ahead.
