Keto Low Carb Baked Crack Chicken Cups Recipe
My family loves Slow-Cooker Crack Chicken. This Keto Crack Chicken Cups recipe is super healthy and easy and has the same flavors as Slow Cooker Crack Chicken. The addition of eggs makes this entree high in protein so it’s filling and will keep you satisfied longer.
In this version, the chicken forms a small bowl filled with seasoning, egg, and bacon. I got the idea from these Keto Chicken Lasagna Cups. Brilliant, right?
Depending on how many you’re serving, you can make more or less of this recipe. One chicken breast makes two chicken cups which is two servings. You slice the chicken horizontally, then pound them thin. The breasts need to be thin so they’ll cook through.
In addition to the chicken and bacon, I seasoned it with Ranch dry seasoning mix, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
I drizzled a few drops of Sriracha sauce over the top to serve.
Recipe Ingredients
- Chicken breasts – boneless, skinless cutlets. Pound to about 1/2-inch thick
- Eggs – medium size
- Ranch seasoning – your favorite brand
- Parmesan Cheese – I don’t recommend the pre-shredded. Get a block of Parmesan cheese. It will last a long time.

Keto Low Carb Baked Crack Chicken Cups Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 8 medium eggs
- 2-3 tablespoons Ranch seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2-3 tablespoons parmesan cheese grated
- 4 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
- chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Run water over chicken breasts and pat dry with a paper towel. Cut chicken breast parallel to the cutting board, the same length and width as the breast so that you have two equal sized chicken cutlets. You should have 8 cutlets.
- Place the chicken on a cutting board with plastic wrap over them. With a meat mallet, pound the chicken breast 1/2-inch thick. (If the breasts are too thick, they will not cook through.)
- Press a chicken cutlet into 8 muffin cups to form bowls.
- Sprinkle 1/2 of the Ranch seasoning and black pepper over chicken. Crack one egg into each chicken bowl. Top with remaining Ranch seasoning and black pepper.
- Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and bacon on top of eggs.
- Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until edges of chicken is browned and egg is set. At 20 minutes the white is firm with a runny yolk.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with green onions or chopped, fresh rosemary. Serve immediately.
