I’m enjoying a low carb lifestyle at the moment and needed to do something new with chicken. I love my bbq, Italian marinade and lemon pepper recipes.
Today I tried and succeeded with a new recipe that incorporated a veggie and cheese and is a low carb hunk of yumminess. THIS Facebook video was my recipe inspiration.
![Ingredients: 2 boneless chicken breasts 1 large handful of fresh spinach (sauted in olive oil for a few minutes) 1/4 block of cheese (I used Monteray as it was what I had on hand) 1/4-1/2 cup Shredded Cheddar Salt and Pepper (to taste) As you can see, I sliced the chicken breast 5 times aka "hasselback"(not the actor, but the chef technique) Bake at 400 for 25-30 minutes. Chicken is done when it temps out above 165 degrees.](http://www.msjme.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/IMG_20160210_173549-300x215.jpg)
2 boneless chicken breasts
1 large handful of fresh spinach (saute in olive oil for 5 or so minutes. I never time it, I just quit once it’s squishy)
1/4 block of cheese sliced into rectangles about 1/4-1/2 inch thick(I used Monterey as it was what I had on hand)
1/4-1/2 cup Shredded Cheddar
Salt and Pepper (to taste)
Slice the chicken breast 5 times aka “hasselback“(this makes me think of the actor David Hasselhoff), put slices of cheese and a bit of spinach in each slice then top it with the shredded Cheddar.
Bake at 400 for 25-30 minutes on a lightly greased baking sheet. Chicken is done when it temps out above 165 degrees.
![Make sure to grease the baking sheet ! The cheese will melt and it will look messy. However, this also keeps the chicken moist and locks in lots of flavor.](http://www.msjme.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/IMG_20160210_180639-214x300.jpg)
