  • Sundried Tomato & Pesto Chicken

    Wanted to share this great recipe that I amde last night. I did not get it from a specific low carb recipe, but I did come up with it when *Emma* mentioned that she was having chicken breat stuffed with cream ch.


    2-4 thick boneless chicken breast
    4-8 1/4 inch thick slcies of cream cheese
    2-3 tsp. finely chopped sundried tomatoes
    2-3 tsp of pesto
    salt & pepper to taste

    *mix together the pesto & sun dried tomatoes. Butterfly the ch. breast open so you can stuff it. Place 2 slices of the cr. cheese on one side of the ch. breast and add a heapping spoonful ontop of the cr. cheese. Close the chicken breast by using toothpicks to hold together. Drizzle olive oil over the tops and salt & pepper to taste. I used a very little bit of garlic powder on them as well. Place on a nonstick pan and bake at 350* for 45 minutes or until tops are light golden brown.

    I served this with Oven roasted asparagus & zucchini. My whole family loved it. Even my 9 yr. old.

        I made this tonight and it was DELICIOUS!!!
        I changed it a little for myself.
        I mixed the cream cheese, pesto and sun dried tomatoes in a small bowl before I stuffed it. I used one ounce of cream cheese (I only made one chicken breast). I also spread pesto all over the top of it instead of olive oil (I like pesto...lol). The chicken breast was 4 oz. It came out to 469 calories and 6 Net Carbs...for mine at least. The calories are high from all the oil in the pesto and in the sun dried tomatoes I think. Oh, and I sprinkled a tiny bit of parmesan cheese on top I'm weird...lol. And I didn't use anything to hold it closed. It just stayed together.

        Here are a couple pics....
