Spinach Artichoke Stuffed Chicken Low Carb Keto Recipes

KETO SPINACH-ARTICHOKE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Microwave spinach in a medium bowl until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool slightly and squeeze to remove excess moisture.
• Return spinach to the bowl. Mix in cream cheese, artichoke hearts, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and salt. Set aside.
• Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness, no more than 1-inch-thick. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken breasts in the hot oil, 2 to 3 minutes, working in batches if necessary. Place chicken breasts in a large baking dish. Spread spinach-artichoke mixture on top of each breast.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 20 to 22 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Top breasts with the mozzarella cheese and continue baking until cheese has melted, 1 to 2 more minutes.

SPINACH ARTICHOKE STUFFED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Pound chicken breasts using a meat mallet until they are a little more than 1-inch thick. (You can skip this step if your breasts are already pretty thin, but the chicken may not come out quite as tender.)
• Cut the chicken breasts into 4-5 ounce portions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Find the side of each chicken breast that is the longest. Slice each chicken breast with a sharp knife down the middle, being careful not to cut all of the way through.
• In a medium-sized bowl combine the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, Mozzarella cheese, artichoke hearts, drained spinach, ¼ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
• Carefully fill each chicken breast with equal amounts of the spinach artichoke filling. If you have extra filling, set it aside until the chicken is almost done cooking.
• Add oil and stuffed chicken breasts to a large skillet over medium heat. Cook for 7-8 minutes on each side, or until chicken reaches 165 degrees°F with a meat thermometer.
• During the last few minutes of cooking, add additional filling to the skillet to heat it up. Serve chicken with cauliflower rice, regular rice, mashed cauliflower, or mashed potatoes and enjoy!
