This keto chicken recipe takes a boring chicken breast to another level. It has only 1 to 2 carbs per serving (depending on what filling you are using), making the recipe ideal for ketosis and the ketogenic diet.

Any diet, especially the keto diet, requires implication and a serious attitude to meal preparation. But sometimes we just need the preparation of dishes to be as easy as possible. So chicken is always a good idea. I have lots of chicken recipes, but when it comes to chicken breast, I prefer to cook it in Instant Pot. You will get a tender cooked chicken breast by choosing the right program and a good combination of ingredients for stuffing. I also adore this cooking method, as chicken meat enhances the lovely flavor of added ingredients. Today I opt for a combination of cream cheese, sliced light cheese, flavored bacon, and fresh bell pepper. The result is incredibly moist and flavorful chicken breast with a gooey filling that melts in your mouth. 

Although I do not follow the ketogenic diet strictly,  being always tempted by fluffy pastries, I feel good eating low-carb dishes. The ketogenic diet always helps me lose some pounds if I exaggerate with cakes I love so much to bake and eat.

If you are following a keto or low-carb diet, looking to lose some pounds, or just crave a delicious protein-packed meal,  then I assure you – you will love this bacon and cream cheese stuffed chicken. Mainly cream cheese it is kind of perfect ingredient for keto. Low in carbohydrates, high in fat, and not so many proteins.

This recipe definitely is a favorite of mine and is often my go-to when I have guests or need a quick and nutritious dinner. It is made in just one pan and is ready in about 30 minutes!

This is an excellent way to stuff chicken with your favorite fillings.

The filling combines pretty simple ingredients; cream cheese, bell pepper, bacon, and slices of light cheese. Make sure the cream cheese you use is at room temperature.
