Low-Carb Spinach and Bacon Hasselback Chicken

ButcherBox sent me their mixed box of meats to try out. The box contains chicken breasts, rib eye steaks, ground beef, a shoulder roast, and pork chops. The meats change monthly and vary depending on location.

On our keto lifestyle journey, Mike and I both read quite a bit about the importance of choosing grass-fed beef, organic products, and free-range chicken. We are making baby steps towards change as often as we can.

If you’re not on or near a farm, ButcherBox is an excellent way to receive high-quality and humanely-raised meats at your doorstep.

So, what shall I do with all of these tasty cuts? First up, I decided to make Hasselback chicken with the chicken breasts. The breasts are the perfect size for slitting and stuffing.

I frequently make Hasselback chicken with tomato, mozzarella, and basil. However, I quickly overdid that one and bored Mike into exercising his veto rights against it.

After talking with my Aunt, she told me she uses bacon, cream cheese, and spinach in her Hasselback chicken. After all, Hasselback is just the name of the stuffing method and has nothing to do with the ingredients.

Larger chicken breasts work best for Hasselback chicken. You want enough thickness so you can slice good slits into the chicken without cutting through. The more room for stuffing, the better.

Let me be crystal clear that you do not have to be on a low-carb diet to enjoy this dinner. But, if you are on a keto diet, get ready for yumminess.

Another reason this chicken dinner is delicious – BACON. And how did I forget to mention that when you join ButcherBox, you get free bacon for life? Bonus city.

Spinach is another tasty ingredient in this recipe. We don’t eat enough spinach at all, so this is a great way to get some into our diet.

Please know that I am a very picky eater. I find this dish quite flavorful, but others may miss the kick of spices and seasonings. Add your favorites to fit your taste.

If you’re not avoiding carbs, possibly serve this Hasselback chicken with pasta and some garlic bread. Yum!

But, if you are doing keto or a low carb diet, know that we found each piece of chicken quite filling and satisfying. No carbs were missed during this meal. 😉

Bacon and spinach are definitely my new favorite way to make Hasselback chicken.
