Whether you’re preparing for a special dinner or just looking to treat yourself, this recipe is guaranteed to make you feel like a gourmet chef, with minimal effort and maximum flavor.
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (juicy and plump, perfect for stuffing)
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped (because keto doesn’t mean no greens!)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened (for that creamy, melt-in-your-mouth texture)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (because more cheese = more happiness)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (an aromatic touch that takes things up a notch)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or butter for an extra layer of richness)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (because we like a little flair on the plate)
Instructions:
- Prep the Chicken: First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Now, grab those gorgeous chicken breasts and carefully slice each one horizontally to create a deep pocket. Be gentle—you want a good pocket for stuffing but don’t cut through to the other side.
- The Creamy Spinach Filling: In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the chopped spinach, softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This dreamy combination is the heart of this dish—rich, cheesy, and full of flavor.
- Stuff and Secure: Spoon the spinach mixture generously into each chicken breast. It should be overflowing with creamy goodness! Once stuffed, secure the edges with toothpicks to ensure none of that luscious filling escapes during cooking.
- Sear for Perfection: Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the skillet and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side. This locks in the moisture and gives the chicken a beautiful golden-brown crust.
- Bake to Finish: Transfer the skillet (carefully!) to your preheated oven. Bake the chicken breasts for 20-25 minutes, or until fully cooked through. The cheese will be oozing, and the aroma filling your kitchen will be irresistible.
- Final Touch: Remove the toothpicks, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve hot. This dish pairs beautifully with roasted veggies or a crisp green salad for a perfect keto meal.
