The Keto Lady Burrata Chicken Primavera

This dish is elegant, fresh, and bursting with flavor—juicy pan-seared chicken, zucchini simmered in fire-roasted tomato sauce, and creamy burrata on top. It’s the kind of keto recipe that doesn’t feel like keto, and it comes together in just one pan.

Ingredients (Serves 2):

• 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• Salt & black pepper (generous for seasoning)

• 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)

• 1 (14 oz) can fire-roasted tomatoes

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tbsp fresh basil (plus extra for garnish)

• 2 medium or 3 small zucchini, diced

• 4 oz burrata cheese (1 ball per chicken breast)

Instructions

1. Prep the Chicken:

   Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

2. Sear the Chicken:

   Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken until golden and fully cooked (5–6 minutes per side depending on thickness).

   Remove from the pan and let rest.

3. Make the Sauce:

   In the same pan, add fire-roasted tomatoes, minced garlic, and 1 tbsp fresh basil. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until bubbling.

4. Add the Zucchini:

   Stir in the diced zucchini and cook for another 3–4 minutes until just tender.

5. Finish the Dish:

   Add the chicken breasts back into the pan. Top each with a ball or scoop of burrata.

   Cover the pan for 2–3 minutes to let the cheese soften and melt slightly.

6. Garnish & Serve:

   Drizzle with remaining olive oil and sprinkle with extra fresh basil. Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks:

• Use cherry tomatoes or fresh tomatoes if you don’t have fire-roasted

• Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick

• You can sub mozzarella pearls if you can’t find burrata.

• Don’t skip the drizzle of olive oil at the end—it adds flavor and healthy fat!
