Steps:
- Directions
- Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Cut each chicken breast in half horizontally so that each breast can open like a book. (Be sure to not cut through the entire chicken breast.) If desired, use a meat mallet to pound each chicken breast until approx. 1/4-inch thick.
- Pat dry each chicken breast and season the outside with garlic salt, paprika, onion powder, salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings, of choice.
- Combine the spinach, softened cream cheese and mayonnaise in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Spoon about 2 tbsp of the spinach mixture into the inside of each chicken breast.
- Fold the chicken breast closed and place it on a baking sheet. If needed, secure each chicken breast closed with a toothpick.
- Place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and no pink remains. Remove the toothpicks and discard.
- Serve your cream cheese stuffed chicken and enjoy!

KETO-FRIENDLY GRILLED STUFFED CHICKEN
Simple recipe. I am sure other people have made this recipe before. We like to grill this during the summer and winter months. You can also bake in the oven with a couple tablespoons of grass-fed butter (add fat for keto diet) at 350 degrees F for about 25 minutes. We normally serve with grilled zucchini and a side salad.

Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Place chicken breast on a flat work surface. Slice horizontally through the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Open the 2 sides and spread them out like butterfly wings. Repeat with remaining breasts.
- Combine garlic powder, salt, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle mixture over chicken breasts.
- Combine jalapeno peppers, cream cheese, and Cheddar cheese in a bowl. Spread mixture evenly over chicken breasts.
- Wrap 2 strips of bacon around each chicken breast and secure with a toothpick.
- Cook on the hot grill until bacon is cooked and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
