Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts Recipe

As many of you know, I am on the Keto Diet right now and am excited to explore recipes for main dishes.  I feel like the meat and veggies can really take center stage with this main dish, Spinach and Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts.

These make a great weeknight dinner. Even kids should enjoy this recipe… who doesn't like chicken and cheese?!

This recipe comes together pretty quick, with just prep for the meat itself, mixing up the filling, and then getting the dredge (or coating of eggs and breading) ready while the chicken chills in the refrigerator.

You can actually make this as a main dish if mom and dad are eating Keto and the kids want chicken and pasta… just make sides as desired! So even though this dish Stuffed Chicken Breasts recipe is Keto-friendly, you can make it your own and really tailor it to your family's taste. Note this recipes is so filling that we only eat 1/2 breast and that is why I put that it serves 6. If you don't have a large family you will have plenty of leftovers.

My family started doing Keto in June of 2018. We chose to do Keto because my husband has Ankylosing Spondylitis and my son has horrible Psoriasis.
