Keto Recipe: Cream Cheese Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast

I’ve made this many times and it’s delicious. A few things I’ve changed over time: there’s no need to heat the filling. Use softened cream cheese and mix well with the other filling ingredients, add a little of the spice mix to the filling because it’s a little bland. I use paprika instead of chili powder.

Also good with kale or chopped up broccoli in place of the spinach.

I bet you the filling tastes great as a dip for celery or homemade low carb tortilla chips.

I saw another recipe like this where bacon, broccoli and bell pepper are also in the filling.
