5Pesto Cream Cheese Stuffed Chicken with Roasted Tomatoes
A simple yet elegant low-carb meal featuring tender chicken stuffed with a savory pesto cream cheese filling and baked alongside sweet cherry tomatoes.
How to make it
- 1
Let's get cooking! Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2
Carefully butterfly each chicken breast, making a pocket in the middle without cutting all the way through. Season them generously inside and out with a little salt and pepper.
- 3
In a small bowl, gently combine the cream cheese, basil pesto, and fresh spinach. Don't worry if the spinach looks like a lot, it will cook down!
- 4
Divide the delicious filling evenly between your chicken pockets. Use a spoon to tuck it in nicely.
- 5
Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish. Scatter the cherry tomatoes around the chicken.
- 6
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked through and the juices run clear. The tomatoes will get lovely and tender.

Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your flavorful, low-carb meal!
