| CHEESY SPINACH STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST – KETO |
There is a lot of controversy over chicken in the Hungry family. Our preferences vary widely, with Mr. Hungry preferring chicken breast because he’s not a fan of dark meat, Hungry Jr. likes chicken legs, and I prefer the chicken thighs for flavor and texture.
One thing we can all agree on though, is that this keto friendly cheesy spinach stuffed chicken breast recipe is AWESOME.
The Hungry dudes aren’t veggie fans either, and even they didn’t mind the spinach in this low carb chicken recipe. Really how can anyone complain – the spinach is bundled in with so much cheese and crispy chicken that you barely notice it!
CHEESY SPINACH STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST – KETO
INGREDIENTS
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or cutlets
- 6 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups chopped spinach (raw)
- 1/2 tsp minced garlic
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
For the breading:
- 1/3 cup superfine almond flour **
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp dried parsley
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/8 tsp onion powder
- 1/8 tsp garlic powder
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tbsp olive oil for frying
INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine the cream cheese, spinach, garlic, parmesan, mozzarella, pepper, nutmeg, and salt in a medium bowl and mix well.
- Trim your chicken of any visible fat or membranes. (If they are really large, you can cut them in half lengthwise and just use two of them for four good sized cutlets once flattened.)
- Place a layer of plastic wrap on a cutting board. Top with one piece of chicken, then another layer of plastic on top to sandwich the chicken in-between them.
- Pound the chicken flat with a meat mallet (starting on one edge and working around and then the center) until it’s about twice the size of when you started, being careful not to pound so thin that it breaks.
