Stuffed Chicken Breast

Scotty Hagnas

Here is a quick and tasty protein recipe. These can be made ahead of time and they are portable for lunches and snacks. As far as the seasonings, experiment with your favorite fresh herbs and spices. I used garlic powder, oregano, and thyme for this batch.

12 min prep time, 30 min cooking time

• Large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1-2 Tbsp tahini per chicken breast
• Chopped tomato
• Shredded spinach
• Seasonings to taste

With a sharp fillet knife, slice the chicken breasts lengthwise, making a pocket to stuff. Spread the tahini in each chicken pocket. Fill with the spinach and tomato, or other veggies of your choice. Add any seasonings, close the chicken breast, and place in a baking dish. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Zone info: 1 oz chicken = 1 protein block, 1 Tbsp tahini = 5 fat blocks, carb content minimal
