New recipe- Greek Stuffed Chicken... - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Kirei · 09-08-2001, 12:29 PM

Here is a chicken ecipe I made up today. I found some crumbled feta cheese at my commisary, and wanted to use it somehow. Here it goes.

Ingredients- (Serves 2)
*2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, thawed and fat trimmed
*2 ounces (or 3) cream cheese, soften in micro for approx. 30 seconds
*1-2 ounces crumbled feta cheese (sliced could work also?)
*1 garlic clove, minced
*6 strips of uncooked bacon (3 per chicken)

Directions-
1- Butterfly cut the chicken- slice a pocket along the side of the chicken, similar to the way a pita bread is sliced (It won't be perfect, but that's ok!)
2- After softening the cream cheese in a bowl, add garlic and feta cheese (and any other spices you fancy- I didn't add any)
3- Fill the pocket you cut in the chicken with the cheese mixture
4- Take whatever you will be baking this in (I use a Pampered Chef stone, but a baking dish will work) and lay the bacon strips so that they are touching side to side (only 3 per chicken)
5- Lay the stuffed chicken on top of the bacon strips, and fold over each of the bacon strips so that the ends of the bacon strips are meeting in the middle (or overlapping).
6- Bake in oven @ 375* for approx. 60 minutes.

This entire recipe is 2 servings
Carbs per serving= 3g
Carbs per entire recipe= 6g

Note- this would be delicious with my spinach casserole dish I posted on the recipe board.

Hope you enjoy! Let me know how you like it, or any improvements you make. Some may like more cheese stuffed in the chicken, so just add a bit more cream cheese, and slightly more feta. You don't need much feta cheese in this recipe because the cream cheese enriches the feta's flavor.

I am SO EXCITED you liked it! It is now one of my favorites! Did you add anything to it? I was wondering what spices might spruce it up, maybe some garlic salt. I think the bacon really gives it a great flavor.

Thanks again!! I will add it to the recipe forum.

Oregano! I am loaded with it - will give it a try. Tomorrow night is Greek Stuffed Chicken Night. Maybe with spinach or chard.

This is a recipe I posted back in September. I forgot to add it to the recipe board, so I thought I'd bring it back incase anyone is looking for a yummy and very lowcarb chicken recipe.

Wow, this sounds SO good! I mix cream cheese and feta for things, but have never mixed it with bacon. Oh my, it is 1AM and I am starved! I will definitely make it this weekend.
