Ditch those boring baked chicken recipes and try this one! Roasted Cream Cheese-Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast! This is the ULTIMATE healthy, low carb meal! Only 4g of carbs and tons of flavor!! Yumm!

Is there anyone out there that loves chicken, but gets bored with the same ol’ recipes?? Well I’ll be the first one to raise my hand! Lol! My family loves chicken, but let’s be honest, there’s only so many ways to cook it! I found myself reverting to the same chicken recipes so I knew that I had to make some changes!

I got this recipe idea from my hubby! Yep, that’s right, my husband is a great cook! I do most of the cooking, but every now and then he will put on his chef’s hat and whip up a masterpiece! ? He makes the BEST stuffed chicken! It’s my favorite recipe ever, but it’s not the healthiest. His recipe is stuffed and slathered with cheese, bacon….more cheese, more bacon…lol! I guess that’s why it’s so good!

I was determined to ‘healthify’ my husband’s recipe so I did a little thinking and came up with this fabulous version; Roasted Cream Cheese-Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast! I omitted the bacon and the extra cheese, and it turned out great!! My husband didn’t want to admit it, but he really liked it! Maybe even more than his own recipe!! Lol! Give this recipe a try and let me know what you think!! I would love to hear from you!
