INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:

CHICKEN BREASTS:

• We have to utilize chicken breasts, as they will give a protein content, and they cook uniformly. As an alternative, you can use boneless chicken thighs, turkey breast, or chicken tenderloins.

MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

• Mozzarella cheese delivers a cheesy and flexible structure. It also creates a silky and melty texture for this stuffed chicken. As a replacement, we can use fontina, Monterey Jack, or Havarti.

SPINACH:

• We utilize spinach, which will provide a fresh taste and rich texture. Instead, you can use arugula, kale, or Swiss chard.

ROASTED RED PEPPERS:

You can use roasted red peppers, as they will deliver a smoky flavor and deep taste. We can switch them out with roasted cherry tomatoes, grilled bell peppers, or pimentos.
