Roasted Red Pepper, Spinach, and Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken

_____Ingredients:_____

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, thinly sliced
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

_____Directions:_____

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish large enough to hold the chicken breasts in a single layer.
2. Using a sharp knife, make a horizontal slit along the side of each chicken breast to create a pocket for stuffing. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
3. Season the inside and outside of each chicken breast with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Stuff each chicken breast with roasted red pepper slices, fresh spinach leaves, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Press the edges of the chicken breast together to seal the stuffing inside.
5. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried basil, dried oregano, and paprika.
6. Brush the seasoned olive oil mixture over the stuffed chicken breasts, coating them evenly.
7. Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
9. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
10. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.

🌟Keto Sweet Pepper Poppers🌟

Ingredients:
10 sweet peppers (such as mini bell peppers)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: Bacon slices (for wrapping)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare the sweet peppers: Cut the sweet peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. If you're using mini bell peppers, you can leave them whole or cut them in half, depending on your preference.

Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Fill the peppers: Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each sweet pepper half with the cream cheese mixture.

Optional: Wrap with bacon - If you like, you can wrap each filled pepper with a slice of bacon. This adds extra flavor and a crispy texture.

Bake: Place the filled sweet peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the peppers are tender, and the filling is hot and bubbly.

Broil (optional): If you want to crisp up the bacon or give the tops a golden finish, you can broil the poppers for an additional 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

Serve: Allow the poppers to cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed warm as an appetizer or snack.

Feel free to customize this recipe based on your preferences. You can add other ingredients like diced jalapeños for some heat or experiment with different cheeses. Enjoy your keto sweet pepper poppers!

🌟Ham and Cheese Keto Stromboli🌟

Ingredients:

For the Dough:

2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
3/4 cup almond flour
2 tablespoons cream cheese
1 large egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

For the Filling:

1/2 pound thinly sliced ham
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup chopped fresh spinach (optional)
1/4 cup chopped black olives (optional)
1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (optional)

For the Egg Wash:
1 large egg, beaten

Instructions:

Prepare the Dough:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheeses are melted and well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour, baking powder, and optional garlic powder.
Add the melted cheese mixture and the egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
Place the dough on a parchment paper-lined surface and shape it into a rectangle using your hands or a rolling pin.

Add the Filling:
Layer the ham over the dough, leaving a border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan over the ham.
If using, add the chopped spinach, olives, and sun-dried tomatoes.

Roll and Seal:
Carefully roll the dough from one of the longer sides, creating a log shape.
Seal the edges by pinching the dough together. Place the stromboli seam side down.

Brush with Egg Wash:
Beat one egg and brush it over the top of the stromboli. This will give it a golden brown color when baked.

Bake:
Transfer the stromboli on the parchment paper to a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

Cool and Slice:
Allow the stromboli to cool for a few minutes before slicing it into individual portions.

Enjoy your ham and cheese keto stromboli! Feel free to customize the filling to suit your preferences and add other keto-friendly ingredients like bell peppers, mushrooms, or different types of cheese.
