As easy as it sounds, baking chicken breast in oven needs a good recipe and careful instructions. It turns into a dry chewy mess with no flavor then you will have to smear it with mayo to salvage.

And I know chicken legs or chicken brown meat parts are more Keto, more flavorful, juicier and definitely less error prone but I still regularly get chicken breast during my grocery trips.

TIPS and SUBSTITUTIONS

You can replace allulose with some brown sugar substitute. Or even you can use 2 table spoon of regular brown sugar together with 1/2 tsp cinnamon. It will increase the carb amount to about 4, cinnamon will prevent blood glucose spike.
Don't worry about chicken turning sweet. It won't. It will be savory and very delicious
Allulose will help with juiciness of the chicken while keeping it covered and adding its own
Do not overcook, nothing can help an overcooked chicken breast. Once the tops turn caramel color, remove it from the oven
Even thickness is important since thicker parts take more time to cook, thinner parts will dry out while thicker parts cook appropriately
Play with herbs, add more of the ones you like make it your own
