I received a copy of the Keto for Two cookbook and have been enjoying the recipes. I use a blend of WW and lazy keto in my weight loss journey and I knew I had to share this stuffed chicken breast recipe with you.
This is a great keto recipe and also a great fit for WW. The stuffed chicken breast recipe comes in at 8 WW Blue points as written. However, if you make the adjustments listed below you can reduce the points by half!
