CHICKEN STUFFED WITH SPINACH, CREAM CHEESE, PEPPER JACK CHEESE AND BACON
My family and I started back on keto!! This time of year is perfect to make a change. Here is a recipe that I found the last time we did keto and we love it. I hope you try it and enjoy it as much as we do!
INGREDIENTS
chicken
cream cheese
spinach
pepper jack cheese
turkey bacon
cheddar cheese (not pictured)
First thing I do is cut up my bacon into strips and start cooking them. I want to make sure they are done completely and a little crispy.
While the bacon is cooking I mix the cream cheese and pepper jack cheese. I like to shred the pepper jack so that it's easier to mix.
When the bacon is cooked, I add it my mix along with the spinach.
I like to make sure it's mixed evenly.
I then cut slices down the middle of my chicken breast. You can do a butterfly cut, I just like down the middle better.
Once the chicken is sliced I scoop a spoonful of the mixture in.
Ready to go in the oven.
I bake mine on 375 for an hour. I like to make sure the chicken is cooked through.
You can eat it this way or you can add more cheese on top. With the keto diet, cheese is good! I added cheddar cheese and then broiled it on high for 10 to 15 minutes. Basically until it was the color I wanted.
I added salad to complete the meal. It was delicious! @dwells and our son loved it!! I'm pretty sure @jeejee and @beardo enjoyed it as well.
If you have any keto or low carb recipes you want to share, please do!
As always, thanks for reading and have a great day!
Until next time....
Looks good....I'm not a fan of turkey bacon so for me I would substitute that out for some beef bacon! Thanks for the recipe!
Beef bacon is hard to get around here. Most turkey bacon we don't like either. But that brand is pretty good.
I have to get mine from the local butcher shop!
Also have you seen this yet? He is the same Dr. that was in the documentary The Way.
I hadn't seen it before now. It's a good video. The first 3 reasons are the main reasons why I love this way of eating. Im a diabetic, so getting my sugar under control is very important. Thanks for the video link.
@jeejee you should watch this.
Looks amazing ❗️❗️
It was good. Next time I think I might make my slices across instead of long. That way I get more of the dip mixture inside of the chicken. I would take the mix and cheese over the chicken. Lol
Going to try this tonight.
Let me know how you like it!
Amazing it was a big hit. Thanks for sharing.
