Ingredients

• 4 large, skinless and boneless chicken breasts
• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1 cup, chopped baby spinach
• 4 cloves, minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh dill
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large egg whites
• 1 cup almond flour
• 3 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, chopped spinach, minced garlic, dill, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. This is your filling.

Step 3

Cut a pocket into each chicken breast by slicing horizontally into the thickest part without cutting all the way through.

Step 4

Stuff the pockets with the cottage cheese filling, then use toothpicks to secure the openings.

Step 5

In a shallow dish, beat the egg whites until slightly frothy.

Step 6

Place the almond flour in another shallow dish.

Step 7

Dip each stuffed chicken breast first into the egg whites, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat with almond flour, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 8

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 9

Sear each chicken breast, about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Step 10

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

Step 11

Remove from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes, then remove toothpicks before serving.
