Can I make sun-dried tomato goat cheese chicken ahead of time?

Yes, it reheats well! Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When reheating, warm it gently on the stove or microwave and stir in a splash of cream or broth to loosen the sauce.

What can I use instead of goat cheese in this recipe?

If you're not a fan of goat cheese, try cream cheese or mascarpone. They’ll still give you that creamy texture, though the flavor will be milder. Feta can work too, but it won’t melt the same way.

Is this chicken recipe good for the keto diet?

Absolutely. It’s low in carbs, high in fat, and has plenty of protein, all things that fit well with keto. Just make sure to pair it with low-carb sides like greens or zoodles to keep it fully keto.

Instructions

Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
