Keto Spinach & Cream Cheese Stuffed Pan Fried Chicken Breasts

I love a good stuffed chicken breast recipe just like the next person. The problem usually is that you have to wrap bacon around them to get the filling to stay in ( I know, that’s not a problem, that’s a smart, salty delicious solution!) and then the filling inevitably leaks its way out of the chicken.

This pan-fried spinach & cream cheese stuffed chicken however, solves that problem First, just like the name says, you pan fry the chicken. Then you add the filling, cover the chicken and heat it through.

Simple, yes? And no bacon in sight!

Tips & Tricks for Pan Fried Chicken Breasts

Pan fried chicken is best cooked on medium heat. You don’t want to cook the chicken fast on the outside and then have it raw on the inside. You don’t need to cook the spinach cream cheese filling, you simply have to heat it up. That’s the brilliance of pan frying the butterflied chicken breasts instead of baking them in the oven wrapped in bacon. The filling doesn’t leak out ( as long as you are careful) and you can heat it up slowly and surely. You could also wrap this in bacon at the point after the chicken is cooked and you stuff the cream cheese in. It really doesn’t need it and sometimes bacon is overdone in low carb and keto recipes. This chicken breasts recipe has been one of the most popular on The Kitchen Magpie for a couple years now so we have shared it here as well!

Happy Keto and low carb cooking!
