Ingredients

  • 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Steakhouse Creamed Spinach

  • 1/2 pound baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 tablespoon dried onion flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • To make the creamy spinach, wilt the washed and drained spinach in a large pan until wilted. Add the heavy cream, cheese, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Let it cool.
  • Cut each chicken breast horizontally, cutting a pocket into the breast without going all the way through.
  • Fill the pocket with about 1/3 cup of spinach filling. More if the breasts are larger.
  • Place 2 cups of keto-friendly tomato sauce into the bottom of an oven-safe dish. Place the stuffed breasts on top.
  • Dot the chicken breasts with the butter, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake at 375-F uncovered, for about 20 minutes, or until the breasts reach 165-F internally. You may need to adjust the cooking time if the breasts are larger or colder when you started, so keep an eye on them.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Recipe Card Tips

  • Don't cut all the way through the chicken when making the pocket. It needs to stay closed to hold the filling.
  • Use a thermometer to check doneness, especially with bone-in chicken breast, which needs more time than boneless.
  • Tomato sauce nutritional info is not included in this recipe because I have no idea what sauce you might be using. Make sure it is sugar-free, and if possible, make your own tomato sauce!
