LASAGNA STUFFED CHICKEN
LASAGNA STUFFED CHICKEN
Lasagna stuffed chicken is a tasty way to get your lasagna fix without eating a bunch of carbs! Skip the noodles and stuff your lasagna right inside a chicken breast. Low carb and family friendly, too!
How to make mozzarella stuffed chicken breast:
First, you’ll want to slice into your chicken using a sharp knife. Place one hand on top of the chicken breast to hold it steady and use the other hand to carefully cut a deep pocket into the side of the chicken.
Drizzle chicken with a little olive oil and then season with some Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
Next, you’ll want to prepare your filling.
Ricotta, mozzrella, parsley – all of the good stuff from a lasagna is going into this filling.
Fill the chicken with the cheese mixture and then spread some marinara on top.
I use Rao’s marinara (affiliate link) pretty exclusively these days. It’s the lowest carb marinara I’ve found, but more than that it’s actually the best tasting. I was using Rao’s before I was watching carbs, so I was pretty excited to see that it was also keto friendly.
Pop this into a 375 degree oven for about 30 minutes and then pull it out and pile on some mozzarella.
What to serve with this lasagna stuffed chicken:
This chicken is rich and hearty, so I like to keep my side dishes simple.
A side salad with my homemade ranch dressing goes with pretty much everything.
Zoodles covered in a little marinara or tossed in garlic butter are a great option.
Steamed broccoli goes great with this as well!
