Ingredients:
For the Stuffed Chicken:
8 slices Swiss cheese
1 cup sliced mushrooms
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Keto Gravy:
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon xanthan gum (for thickening)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Chicken:
Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast. Season the chicken with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Stuff each chicken breast with 2 slices of Swiss cheese and an equal amount of sliced mushrooms. Secure the opening with toothpicks if necessary.
Cook the Chicken:
Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts on both sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Prepare the Keto Gravy:
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
Whisk in the heavy cream and xanthan gum. Continue to cook and stir until the gravy has thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve:
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Remove any toothpicks.
Serve the stuffed chicken breasts with the keto gravy drizzled on top.
