Lasagna Keto Stuffed Chicken
Yields: 2 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 20 minutes | Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- ¾ cup ricotta cheese
- ½ cup marina sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Salt and pepper for sprinkling
Optional: fresh parsley for garnish
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine ½ cup of the mozzarella cheese, the ricotta cheese, basil, parsley and salt. Stir until incorporated and set aside.
3. Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Use a large, flat spatula to press down on the top of the chicken breast and use your other hand to insert a knife into the thickest side of the chicken. Cut a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through the other side and stopping before you get to the end of the chicken (creating a pocket, not a flap).
4. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, and salt and pepper.
5. Divide the mixture to stuff half into each chicken pocket.
6. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet on medium-high heat. After the skillet is
heated through, add the chicken breasts – top side down. Allow to cook for 5 minutes without
touching. Turn off the heat and flip the chicken breasts over.
7. Spoon on a layer of marinara sauce, followed by remaining shredded mozzarella cheese.
8. Place in the oven for 12-15 minutes until chicken has cooked through. If not using an oven-safe
pan, simply transfer the chicken breasts to an oven-safe dish and bake. If your chicken breasts
are quite large – they will need the full 15 minutes.
9. Once finished baking, sprinkle on fresh parsley if desired and allow the chicken to rest for 5
minutes before serving.
