I’ve got another delicious, easy, inexpensive chicken dinner for you guys! WOOT. And it also happens to be low carb, gluten free, and keto-friendly, if you’re following any of those diets.
This Philly Cheese Steak Hasselback Chicken was inspired from this Barbecue-Cheddar Hasselback Chicken..but mainly the fact that my refrigerator is just plain sad right now, with only some pickles, five different half-filled jars of jam, Provolone, and bell pepper. Weird food combo, anyone? HA.
My kids started camp today – I had my entire day mapped out and how much I was going to get done, including grocery shopping.
Didn’t do any of it.
Instead, I juiced 10 pounds of lemons brought over from my neighbor, researched mattresses, and watched funny dog videos.
But thank goodness I didn’t go, right? Because voilà! This chicken dish was born.
Turning lemons into lemonade, you guys. And in more ways than one, thanks to all those lemons!

Clever way to stuff chicken breasts. Plan to make this sometime soon. I’m already thinking of some variations to stuff into the slits!
