Avocado and Bacon Stuffed Chicken Breast

Avocado and Bacon Stuffed Chicken Breast

Absolutely nothing beats the combination of creamy avocado and crispy bacon, especially when stuffed inside a juicy chicken breast. I stumbled upon this recipe during a weekend brunch experiment, and it’s been a crowd-pleaser ever since. The contrast of textures and flavors is simply irresistible, making it a perfect dish for both weeknight dinners and special occasions.

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 4 slices of thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
  2. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the diced avocado, crumbled bacon, and shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Gently stuff this mixture into the pockets of each chicken breast.
  4. Season the outside of the chicken breasts with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
  6. Transfer the seared chicken breasts to the prepared baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.

Out of the oven, the chicken is succulent and tender, with the avocado and bacon filling melting into every bite. Serve it alongside a crisp green salad or over a bed of quinoa for a complete meal that’s as nutritious as it is delicious.

Keto Cauliflower Mac and Cheese

Sometimes, you just crave the comfort of mac and cheese, but without the carb overload. That’s where this keto cauliflower mac and cheese comes in, a dish that’s become a staple in my kitchen for those cozy nights in. I remember the first time I tried it; skeptical at first, but one bite and I was hooked—it’s that good.

Ingredients

  • 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into small florets
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt, to season
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with butter.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for 5 minutes, just until tender. Drain well and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the heavy cream, garlic powder, and smoked paprika, heating until the mixture is warm but not boiling.
  4. Remove the pot from heat and gradually whisk in the cheddar cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  5. Add the drained cauliflower back to the pot, gently tossing to coat each floret evenly with the cheese sauce.
  6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the top with Parmesan cheese.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Keto Coconut Flour Bread

Goodness, have I got a treat for you today! As someone who’s navigated the choppy waters of keto baking, I can tell you that finding a bread recipe that doesn’t taste like cardboard is nothing short of a miracle. This Keto Coconut Flour Bread is my latest obsession, and I’m thrilled to share it with you.

  3. Add the lightly beaten eggs, melted clarified butter, and unsweetened almond milk to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms. Tip: Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb the liquids, which will thicken the batter.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  5. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Tip: Cover the loaf with aluminum foil halfway through baking to prevent the top from browning too quickly.
