It’s a brand new year which means it’s time start off on a clean slate and what better way to do so than through incorporating a healthy diet into my everyday lifestyle. With that being said, I went ahead and partnered up with Moon Cheese snacks to create a quick, simple, and delicious keto-friendly recipe using all three varieties of their snacks: Cheddar, Gouda, and Pepper Jack. In case you’re not familiar with Moon Cheese snacks they are an all-natural, low-carb, gluten-free, and keto-friendly snacks that contain high quality protein and are non-perishable and a shelf-stable that is perfect for travelers and for those who are constantly on-the-go. There is no refrigeration required and the bags are resealable so you can take them anywhere! You can usually find their products at Publix stores all across Florida and also online for purchase at Amazon and on the brand’s website
Since I am a huge fan of Parmesan Crusted Chicken and any baked chicken recipes in general I wanted to create a similar recipe but with my own little twist to it so instead of using shredded Parmesan cheese for the crust I used all three varieties of Moon Cheese snacks instead and honey as my two main ingredients for the recipe and I was really happy and overall satisfied with how the dish came out. Not only is this recipe clean, light, healthy, and delicious but it’s also very quick to make and you don’t need too many ingredients to make it with so it’s very simple and cost efficient! I felt it paired well with a salad so I served it with my favorite salad recipe, Raspberry Cranberry Glazed Walnut which has all of my favorite toppings in one bowl!
