Keto chicken Florentine is a deliciously rich chicken dinner, perfect for any night of the week. With fresh not frozen spinach, heavy cream, and white wine, this low carb chicken recipe packs big flavors you will love into an easy dinner recipe.

We’re a busy family so I’m always looking for family friendly recipes. I rely on 30 minute one pan meals to get dinner on the table fast. And who says that a quick low carb meal has to be blah and boring? This quick keto chicken Florentine comes to the rescue with a rich, silky sauce and great flavor. Just serve with parsley cauliflower rice (recipe below) and a salad for a complete meal.

Florentine simply means “cooked in the style of Florence” or “with spinach”. On a restaurant menu it normally refers to cooking a protein with spinach and a rich Mornay sauce (cheese sauce). These spinach Florentine crepes are one example.

Most chicken Florentine recipes specify breaded and fried chicken breasts and a classic cream sauce thickened with flour. Since bread crumbs and flour are not low carb this keto chicken Florentine recipe uses a little cream cheese and heavy cream instead. Don’t worry about the sauce being too rich, a little dry white wine cuts the richness and enhances the flavor of the mushrooms.

If you don’t drink wine substitute chicken broth and a squeeze of lemon. Acid helps balance richness and lemon and spinach are best friends.

Now, I think it fair to say that this is a quick and dirty version of chicken Florentine and not an authentic recipe, but it’s easy and full of flavor.

While rice or potatoes may be the traditional accompaniment to a dish like this creamy chicken Florentine, they aren’t keto friendly. I serve easy low carb chicken Florentine with cauliflower rice like this cauliflower pilaf or mashed cauliflower.

For a quick cauliflower rice recipe try this: Saute 2 tbsp minced onion in 1 tbsp butter. When softened, add 2 cups cauliflower rice and continue to saute until cooked. Stir in 1 tbsp minced parsley at the end of cooking. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Low carb chicken recipes are the best. Chicken is versatile because it’s neutral in flavor and packed with protein. I use it all the time. And when I am making a dish with a rich cream sauce like this chicken Florentine, I love using lean boneless-skinless chicken breast.

This chicken uses pork rinds for the crunchy breading, but you could also use a blend of pork rinds and whey protein powder (like I do for keto chicken tenders) or just use plain almond flour (like I did for keto chicken nuggets), which still turns out good, but less crispy. The citrus sauce takes a few minutes longer than classic pan sauces like lemon chicken piccata, but the results are so worth it.

In this version, we’re using carb-free pork rinds for the breading and the keto orange chicken sauce recipe is made with Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend (0 net carbs!), which gives it sweet flavor without the sugar. Each serving has just 7.4 grams net carbs.

You can, though I don’t recommend it. I used powdered erythritol in the book, which worked fairly well, but I don’t use that anymore.

Now I use Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend, which works a lot better, because dissolves just like sugar, has no cooling effect, and won’t crystallize if you store it.

But, you could also use powdered allulose or powdered erythritol instead. Just be sure it’s powdered, or your sauce will be gritty. For other sweetener swaps, refer to my guide to sugar alternatives.

I've been wanting to make my own version into a casserole for years. I've seen a lot of crack dips but casseroles are more my thing. My kids love any kind of cheesy, creamy casserole especially if it has bacon in it.

It is a concoction of creamy chicken with ranch and bacon. The sort of keto chicken recipe I love to share here on Joy Filled Eats!

Why is it called Crack Chicken? It is addictive and highly tasty, so everyone says they can’t resist the cheesy chicken. I did not invent the name for it. I just make my own version of a popular recipe.

Keto Orange Chicken Recipe

Chicken Tenderloins - Chicken tenderloins, also known as chicken fingers, are produced by cutting the narrow strip of meat on the inside of an uncooked chicken breast so that it is easier to cook.

Bacon Crumbles - Bacon Crumbles are small pieces of bacon that have been fried or oven-baked. They are often used on top of salads or side dishes, or as a garnish to other dishes.

Onion Powder - Onion powder is simply dehydrated, ground onion. Onion powder provides a way for one to obtain the flavor of onion without having to use an unpeeled fresh onion.

Dried Dill - Dill weed is often used in cooking and seasoning dishes because it has a very strong and distinctive flavor. It is a signature flavor in ranch dressing.

Step One: Start by heating the oven. Then spray a casserole with cooking spray. Lay down your chicken tenders into the dish and then set aside.

Step Two: In a bowl mix together the softened cream cheese, half the mozzarella, half the bacon, half the green onions, and all the seasonings.
