Husband and I are on Atkins currently...its been 2 months now.
That means: no carbs (bread, rice, pasta, potatoes), no sugars (which actually eliminates some vegetables such as carrots, squash, peas).Â
I'm definitely in a rut. I'm getting tired of bacon and eggs every morning, and some version of a salad every lunch.Â
But...one of my favourite chicken dishes is:
Chicken breast stuffed with feta and spinach.Â
Just sautee some spinach (I use a whole bag since it wilts down pretty quickly), with a small diced onion in butter or oil. Once it's cooked through and wilted, let it cool completely.Â
Slice into a breast of chicken to make a pocket (Or if you're feeling fancy, you can pound it out and roll it with the filling inside).Â
Crumble some feta into the spinach mixture, and stuff it into the pocket/chicken and roll it.Â
Wrap in bacon. Because everything is fucking better with bacon.Â
You can pan fry it, but makes sure to finish it in the oven to be sure it's cooked...I just oven roast mine.
Soooooo delicious, and easy. Definitely a good one if you want to impress someone.
