Mozzerella Cheese Chicken..KEYWORDS: low carb recipe chicken recipe meat recipe low carb
Serves 2 (but can easily be doubled)
Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 oz. cream cheese, softened (I used whipped cream cheese)
1 cup mozzerella cheese
1/4 cup fresh spinach leaves
1/2 tsp oregano
1/4 garlic salt
1/2 garlic powder
1/2 cup tomato sauce (I use Hunts no sugar added and season it myself)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
1. Pound chicken breast until very thin (about 1/4 inch)
2. Lay spinach over chicken
3. Combine cream cheese, 1/2 of the mozz cheese, and spices in a bowl.
4. Divide mixture evenly and place on top of the spinach on each chicken breast. (Should be about a 1 oz. ball of mixture, place towards the short end of the chicken)
5. Roll up each chicken tightly, starting from the end with the filling.
6. Place in a greast baking dish and cover evenly with sauce.
7. Cover dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
8. Remove foil, top chicken with remaining cheese and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes until the cheese melts.
This is definetly my favorite dinner to make, it so easy and unbelivably delicious! Looks like fairly ordinary when you pull it out of the even (although beautiful nonetheless), but when you cut the chicken in half, SURPRISE! The cheese oozes out and it looks really amazing. I always make this for guests and its a huge hit.
Depending on the kind of sauce used its about 5 carbs per serving.
