I got this receipe from a Beyond Diet member, my husband and I tried it last night and it was amazing! Lots of flavor! We used green chilis instead but the outcome was great!!!!!
Prep Time: 15min
Cook Time: 10min
Servings: 8
Ingredients
8 oz raw cottage cheese
1/2 cup raw shredded cheddar cheese
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
4 strips of turkey bacon, diced
4 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Directions
1. Cook the turkey bacon in a skillet, let cool and then dice
2. Stir together the cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon, and jalapenos in a small bowl.
3. Cut a pocket horizontally through the thickest side of each chicken breast, and fill with 1/4 of the cheese mixture.
4. Place on george forman grill (seam side towards the incline of the grill) for about 5 mins (or more for golden color). If your chicken breasts are thick, they can be finished in a 350-degree oven.
If you don't have a george forman grill you can use coconut oil in a pan on the stove to cook about 8 mins on each side. Make sure to seal the pocket with toothpicks so the stuffing doesn't come out.

I don't have the calorie count, but you can adjust it for less calories. We used very little cheese when we did it and it was still awesome!!!!!0

I guess I could try breaking it up on the calorie counter and get back to you guys, when the receipe calls for "raw" it means organic, the Beyond diet is a strictly orgainc based diet that is about portions more then calories but I try to watch both and estimate. When we made this, I knew I had some calories to spare. I used low fat cottage cheese and low fat chedder cheese, I don't always buy organic because it can be expensive but I try.0

That sounds so yummy.0

Ok, so used the calories counter and if you were to eat this whole thing which makes like 8 servings, and used reduced fat cheddar cheese and lowfat 1% cottage cheese you would be at or around 834 calories, so its a great meal to share0
