Meal Plan Monday
Another Monday another free meal plan for my followers!! Please make sure to follow me on Instagram (https://goo.gl/izyNSo), Facebook (https://goo.gl/ec3C7P), and Twitter (https://goo.gl/G5hD3v) that way you don't miss a Meal Plan Monday (they are surprises)! All my meal plans you may notice are low in calories. I am not saying you should eat this low, I am making them lower for those who have calculated their macros and their calories are this low. If you have a higher amount of calories/fats/protein allowed everyday you can increase portions, add snacks, and do another modification to CUSTOMIZE this plan to meet your needs. As always I recommend using the Ruled.Me macro calculator: https://goo.gl/Nw2tvd to figure out your personal macros( its free and easy to use). I hope you enjoy my meal plans and recipes.. Keto ON!

Stuffed Chicken Breast
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
6 oz cream cheese, softened
2 cups chopped spinach (raw)
1 tsp minced garlic
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp kosher salt
For the breading:
1/3 cup superfine almond flour
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/8 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 eggs
olive oil or peanut oil for frying
Combine the cream cheese, spinach, garlic, parmesan, mozzarella, pepper, nutmeg, and salt in a medium bowl and mix well.
Trim your chicken of any visible fat or membranes. Cut them in half lengthwise.
Pound the chicken flat with a meat mallet (starting on one edge and working around and then the center) until it’s about twice the size of when you started, being careful not to pound so thin that it breaks.
Repeat with the remaining pieces of chicken.
Spoon 1/4 of the filling mixture into the middle of a chicken cutlet and roll(like sushi).
Place seam side down on a cookie sheet and repeat with the other 3 pieces of chicken.
Chill the stuffed chicken for 30 minutes.
Beat the eggs in a medium bowl.
Combine the other breading ingredients (except for the oil) in a different bowl and stir.
Heat the oil in a medium sized nonstick sauté pan.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees (F)
Dip the stuffed chicken into the egg first, then the breading mix and cook in the sauté pan until golden brown on all sides.
Transfer the browned chicken to a baking pan.
Bake in the oven at 375 degrees for 18 – 22 minutes or until a thermometer in the center reads 165 degrees (F).
Serve with optional marinara or alfredo sauce. This recipe is a little less in carbs and protein due to most of the breading mixture and eggs not being used.
