 Chicken is a go to protein any night of the week. It can get kind of boring after awhile if you make the same old recipes and you’ve got to mix it up. 

This easy and delicious stuffed chicken is packed with spinach, garlic and feta. Hasselback chicken simply describes the method of cutting slices into the chicken breast without cutting all the way through. I added cherry tomatoes to the casserole dish to add colour and because they paired well with the spinach and feta. 

This Hasselback Chicken looks kind of fancy, but is truly easy to make. It only takes 20-25 minutes to cook the chicken. 

 This recipe is naturally gluten free, grain free, made with whole food, is low carb and keto friendly.
