    How to Make Low Carb Lasagna Chicken Parmesan

    Make the tomato sauce first by heating a frying pan over medium. Add the oil and the onions and cook until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and let cook for about 30 seconds or so, being careful not to burn it. Add the spinach, Italian seasoning and the tomato sauce. Cook for about 5 minutes, just to heat through then season with salt and pepper to your liking and set aside.

    Mix up the lasagna inspired stuffing by stirring together the softened cream cheese, spinach, ricotta and salt and pepper.

    For the chicken, use either 2 very large pieces or 4 smaller ones. To prepare the chicken, take a sharp knife and slice through the chicken, lengthwise so that you can open it up like a book. Don't cut all the way through.

    Divide the cheese mixture between each piece of chicken. Close them back up.

    Coat each piece with pecan meal and some shredded mozzarella.

    Bake at 375°F for 30 minutes, or until cooked through.
