Low Carb Sun-dried Tomato, Spinach Stuffed Chicken

This Low Carb Sun-dried Tomato, Spinach Stuffed Chicken is a must to try and so easy to prepare. I did find this recipe at recipetineats.com and she found it at yammiesnoshery.com. I did change the recipe up a bit but I must give credit to the two sites.
I want to take a minute and talk about chicken. I usually buy my chicken from Costco, now you might find it strange but I buy there frozen seasoned chicken breasts. I find the frozen ones have such an amazing flavor and I can take it out of the freezer and thaw it out and make many delicious recipes with them. I know the box does not recommend to thaw out the chicken but I have not had any problems thawing them out and love the final results every time.
Many times I have bought fresh chicken breasts and I find the flavor just so bland. So for now I will stick with the frozen breasts.

Another thing I want to talk to you about is sun dried tomatoes. I love the sun dried tomato pesto, it has amazing flavor and it is already to spread on your food instead of having to chop up the dried tomatoes and I also find the pesto is so much more flavorful.

Now back to my Sun-dried Tomato, Spinach Stuffed Chicken, this meal is one that you will make over and over again. My kids were home for the week end and I am always experimenting on them and they just keep coming back for more.
In fact served this recipe and Saturday night I made my famous prime rib, in the near future I will share this with you.
