Keto Dinner

Chicken a la Good

Chicken a la Good has always been a go-to when a comforting keto dinner that feels indulgent but keeps carbs in check is needed. Tender chicken breasts, savory ham, and melted Swiss cheese, all wrapped in crispy bacon and baked in broth until juicy perfection. It’s a family favorite that turns a weeknight meal into something special.

Chicken a la Good

Ingredients

  • skinless boneless chicken breast halves, pounded to 1/4 inch thickness
  • garlic salt to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • /2 pound thinly sliced ham
  • slices Swiss cheese
  • slices bacon
  • (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    First, preheat your oven to 375°F. Take each pounded chicken breast and season both sides with garlic salt and black pepper. I like to be generous here for maximum flavor. Lay a slice of ham on top, followed by a slice of Swiss cheese, then carefully roll the chicken up tightly, just like a cinnamon roll. Secure with a toothpick if needed. Now wrap two slices of bacon around each roll, overlapping slightly. Place the rolls seam-side down in a 2-quart baking dish. Pour the chicken broth around them—this keeps the chicken moist while cooking. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. For that extra crispy bacon finish, switch to broil for 2-3 minutes. Let them rest a minute before serving. The broth in the pan doubles as a light sauce, so spoon it over the chicken when plating. This step takes the dish from good to unforgettable.

Chef's Tip

For an even richer dish, I sometimes tuck a thin slice of cream cheese inside with the ham and Swiss. It melts into a creamy surprise that takes this keto dinner to the next level. Just be sure to seal the edges so it doesn't leak out.

Storage Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave, but a quick broil will re-crisp the bacon. The leftover broth makes a tasty sauce.

Variation Tips

For a complete keto plate, serve with roasted asparagus or a crisp green salad with olive oil and lemon. Swap the ham for turkey or prosciutto, or try pepper jack cheese for a spicy kick. For dairy-free, use a dairy-free cheese alternative.
