Keto Mushroom Stuffed Chicken Breasts Recipes

KETO STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine basil, olive oil, pine nuts, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a blender. Process until well blended. Transfer pesto to a container and store in the refrigerator until needed.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place cauliflower in a steamer insert inside a saucepan filled with 1 inch of water. Cover saucepan, bring to a boil, and steam cauliflower until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer cooked cauliflower to the blender; add 2 tablespoons of pesto and blend.
• Mix garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Place chicken on a work surface and rub spice mixture equally into breasts.
• Make a deep cut in the side of each breast to create an opening for stuffing. Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken on both sides until slightly browned, about 5 minutes total.
• Return chicken to the work surface and let cool until safe to handle. Spoon pesto-cauliflower mixture into the pocket of each breast and place on a rimmed baking tray.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

MUSHROOM, BROCCOLI, AND CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Combine broccoli and water in a microwave-safe bowl. Cook in the microwave on high power for 2 minutes. Drain.
• Combine cooked broccoli, pepperjack cheese, mayonnaise, mushrooms, and garlic powder in a large bowl.
• Season both sides of each chicken breast with paprika, salt, and pepper. Use a sharp knife to cut a slice through the middle of each breast to create a deep pocket, making sure not to cut all the way through. Evenly stuff each breast with broccoli mixture and place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

CHICKEN, CHEESE, AND WINE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Layer the chicken breast halves into the bottom of a baking dish. Stir the cream of mushroom soup, mushrooms, garlic, curry powder, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl until mixed. Add the white wine to the soup mixture and stir until smooth; pour over the chicken breast halves. Sprinkle the Cheddar cheese and paprika over the mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 90 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a chicken breast should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

MUSHROOM-STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking tray with foil. Mix garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika together in a small bowl.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic and saute for 1 minute.
• Set aside 1/3 of the mushrooms for garnish; add remaining mushrooms to the skillet and season with salt. Saute until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add wine and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, scraping any browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a spoon. Add parsley and pepper, then mix in just enough bread crumbs to bind. Remove from the heat.
• Cut a slit in each chicken breast to form a pocket. Stuff mushroom mixture into each pocket. Season one side of each breast with salt, then with the 1/2 of the spice mixture.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place chicken breasts, seasoned-sides down, in the hot skillet and let them brown for about 2 minutes. Season the tops with the remaining spice mixture, flip, and brown for 2 more minutes. Transfer to the prepared baking tray.
• Spoon reserved mushrooms over the chicken breasts, then pour condensed soup over top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
