Low carb Chicken Breast


I originally made this chicken recipe in 2018 when I was watching my carbs.  Try it .  I’m sure you’ll you will enjoy it.

New Chicken Recipe

Watching your carbs? The recipe is carb friendly if you eliminate serving it over rice.  Substitute a healthy green salad or vegetable.

Our grandson has been spending some time with us and he doesn't eat as he should a lot of days so when he comes to visit I try to make something a little different than he'd be used to eating. He's a junk food guy.....

He loves cream cheese on bagels but in chicken it was certainly going to be a test of his taste buds.

To nicely stuff these breasts you need a good thick chicken breast so you can easily cut a pocket in it.
It's easily done with a sharp knife.

Below is the recipe and our grandson ate it all and said he really liked it.  That's big coming from him....Enjoy!















3 to 4  medium to large boneless chicken breasts
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. salt divided
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
4 ounces cream cheese softened
1/4 cup Romano cheese
1 Tablespoon mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped spinach
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes (optional)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Place chicken breasts on cutting board and drizzle with olive oil.  In a small bowl place paprika, 1/2 tsp. salt, garlic powder, onion powder and stir to combine, Sprinkle chicken breasts evenly with mixture.

In a small bowl Add softened cream cheese, Romano cheese, mayonnaise, spinach,remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and pinch of red pepper (optional) Stir well to mix.3 to 4  medium to large boneless chicken breasts

Using a sharp knife cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast and set aside. Spoon the cream cheese mixture into each pocket evenly.

Place stuffed breasts in a 13x9 inch baking dish.

Bake uncovered for approximately 25 to 30 minutes until chicken is cooked through.  Mine was done in 25 minutes. Cover until ready to serve.


A side salad would be a healthy choice with this meal or a steamed vegetable.  Enjoy!
