Delicious Keto Lunch: Parmesan Stuffed Chicken
Many people wonder what to cook when it comes to diets that do not include sugars, or diets that are based on consuming protein and fat. Although many products are restricted or eliminated in these diets, you can still be creative and incorporate a variety of flavors into your diet.
This lifestyle can be healthy and fun at the same time, with a particular focus on home-cooked meals where you control the quality of the ingredients.
However, try to make informed decisions when it comes to choosing ingredients. Although it may seem complicated at first, the whole process of preparing food will change your perspective on food, and you will never go back to your old unhealthy habits.
Today we give you an idea for a quick and tasty keto meal that contains a minimum amount of net sugars (due to tomato puree), about 400 kcal and only 4 g of net sugar per piece.
Keto Parmesan Stuffed Chicken
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts (make an open cut in the middle in each chicken breast)
- 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup tomato puree (around 250 gr.)
- 1-2 garlic cloves finely chopped
- a couple fresh basil leaves (or 1 tsp dry basil spice)
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Carefully slice the chicken breasts, paying attention to the shape of their structure, so that they will be open like a butterfly. Add salt and pepper, add the garlic.
- Stuff the tomato puree and 3/4 of the grated cheeses, as well as a little chopped fresh basil and close the individual pieces. Set aside 1/4 of the cheese to apply in the second part of cooking.
- Wrap each individual piece in foil, taking into account the fact that you will need to open the foil in the second part and bake at 350 degrees F for about 15 minutes.
- After that, take out the chicken breasts and get rid of the foil, adding grated Parmesan and mozzarella to the chicken. Continue to roast the chicken breasts for an additional 15 minutes at the same temperature, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
- Sprinkle with some more fresh basil and enjoy!
- You can combine this meal with 3-4 floret broccoli or cauliflower cooked on steam or a fresh salad of arugula, lettuce, etc. Be careful when combining vegetables because most of them contain high amounts of net sugar.
