Like most people, I *love* Italian food. But as low-carbers we have to give up so much of it, or find processed low carb alternatives (which I do – frequently!). But if you like clean eating, then here's a great low carb way of eating some Italian food! Like my Pizza Dip – I've taken some of the best flavors including tomato, cheese, oregano and basil – and combined them into a delicious recipe!

Although it might sound tricky, this meal is definitely easy enough to prepare for a weeknight meal – can be prepared in advance, too!

How to Make Stuffed Italian Chicken

Prepare the filling for the chicken by combining cream cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning and black pepper. Place a spoonful of the mixture at the end of thinly sliced chicken breasts (I buy mine pre-sliced).

Roll them up and place them in a baking dish that you have sprayed with some olive oil.

Mix together some canned tomato sauce (passata, not ketchup!) with some dried oregano – or more Italian seasoning if you prefer. Pour it over the chicken.

Roast in a preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until an internal temperature of 180F has been reached. A probe thermometer is very useful for this recipe! When the chicken is at 170F or so, sprinkle with grated cheese (I use an Italian blend), then return to the oven until the chicken has finished cooking.

Serve with salad, green beans or a dish like my Sauteed Zucchini and Yellow Squash with Lemon and Basil or  Lemon Garlic Broccoli. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken when serving, although you won't need all of it! Garnish with chopped fresh oregano or basil.
