Best Keto Stuffed Chicken Breast for 2
If you're looking for a date night dinner recipe that is easy to prepare and absolutely delicious, try this fantastic chicken stuffed with spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and cheese. This lovely dish is wonderfully creamy and bursting with flavors – a perfectly healthy dinner for 2. We prepared this beautiful meal in the oven for a healthier version, but you can also fry it in some butter (it tastes fantastic). Serve the prepared chicken with your favorite fresh vegetable salad, low-carb veggies of choice, mashed cauliflower, or cauliflower rice. Optionally, sprinkle with some more crumbled feta on top and enjoy!
How do you customize this recipe?
You can substitute feta with the same amount of goat cheese for some extra flavor. You can add some extra herbs and spices or marinate the chicken in some olive oil and fresh herbs. You can also substitute the chicken with turkey breast (just gently brush them with some olive oil before baking to prevent them from drying out in the oven). Whatever you decide, remember to log the ingredients separately to stay within your daily carb limits.
Is this recipe freezer-friendly?
Absolutely! This is a fantastic recipe to prepare in advance and freeze for a few months. Gently thaw in the oven, and you'll have a wonderful weeknight dinner in no time.
Can I prepare this recipe in my air fryer?
Yes, this recipe would work for your air fryer. Wrap the stuffed chicken breast with a piece of aluminum foil and bake for about 20 minutes at 175°C (350°F). After about 20 minutes, remove them from the aluminum foil and cook for another 8-10 minutes at 200°C (400°F) or until golden brown and crispy.
