Pizza Stuffed Hasselback Chicken Recipe

This Pizza Stuffed Hasselback Chicken Recipe is one of the easiest and tastiest keto dinner ideas that will be loved by the whole family. It's everything you love about pizza - without the bread!

I was never a big pizza fan, but since going keto I have found myself wanting it more and more. My husband would live on pizza alone if I let him, so I make sure to have a pizza-style something often.

My Pizza Zucchini Casserole is always a hit, but I wanted something a little more quick and easy... and this pizza stuffed hasselback chicken did not disappoint.

You can stuff whatever your favorite pizza toppings are right into the hasselback chicken. I only had pepperoni and mozzarella on hand, but some green bell pepper, mushrooms, and sausage would be delicious too...and keto!

The best part is you can throw it all together and bake and serve. It does not get any easier than that.

This hasselback chicken preheats perfectly too so it is great for weekly meal prep. Pair with a low carb veggie or salad and voila - easy meal that can be reheated quickly.

Taylor even loved taking it to school for a hot school lunch that only takes a minute to reheat. Since the chicken is already sliced it heats up quickly.
