• 2 Cloves Garlic, Crushed

How to Make Keto Stuffed Chicken Breast?

Step 1: Season and Prep the Chicken

First, let’s get those chicken breasts ready for their big moment. Place them in a reusable bag or bowl and sprinkle them generously with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and cumin. Give them a good toss to ensure they’re evenly seasoned. Let them hang out in the fridge for about 20 minutes. This step not only amps up the flavor but also helps to tenderize the chicken.

Step 2: Sauté the Spinach Mixture

While the chicken is getting cozy in the fridge, let’s work on that amazing stuffing. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Toss in the diced onion and crushed garlic, cooking for about 90 seconds until they’re fragrant and starting to soften. Next, add the spinach leaves, season with a touch of salt and pepper, and cook for about 5 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the mixture is well combined. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Step 3: Mix the Cheesy Filling

In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, sautéed spinach, ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, and 2 tablespoons of butter. Season with pepper to taste. Stir everything together until it’s well-mixed and creamy. This is where the magic happens—each bite of this filling will be like a little flavor party in your mouth.

Step 4: Stuff and Secure the Chicken

Now comes the fun part! Take your chicken breasts out of the fridge and lay them flat on a cutting board. Spoon the cheesy spinach mixture onto each breast, spreading it to cover as much surface area as possible. Fold the chicken breasts over the filling and secure the edges with wooden toothpicks. This will keep all that cheesy goodness tucked inside while baking.

Step 5: Sear the Chicken

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the stuffed chicken breasts and sear them on both sides until golden brown. This step adds a delicious crust and locks in all those flavors. Once seared, transfer the chicken to a baking sheet brushed with a bit of olive oil.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Add the chopped zucchini slices around the chicken on the baking sheet. Top each chicken breast with the remaining shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese. You want a nice layer of cheese on top for that gooey, gratin effect. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 30 minutes. The chicken should be cooked through, and the cheese should be bubbly and golden. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
