Ricotta & Spinach Chicken

with Bell Peppers and Almond Crumble {Dairy-Free}

Ricotta & Spinach Chicken with Pepper and Almond Crumble. What could make this dish better? Dairy-Free Kite Hill Ricotta Cheese! You can easily use regular Ricotta Cheese but can not tell the difference. If you haven't tried it yet, it is amazing! Mix the ricotta with spinach, and oregano and cook with Red, Yellow, and Orange Pepper. Instead of breading the chicken & to simplify the process I topped with a delicious Almond Flour crumble. Mix almond flour, coconut oil, and seasonings for the almond flour crumble.

How to make Ricotta & Spinach Stuffed Chicken

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Cut your chicken in half lengthwise, pat dry, and season with mixture. Add Kite Hill Ricotta Cheese, Spinach, Oregano, and Sea Salt in a mixing bowl. At one end, add 2 tablespoons of mixture to each of the six pieces of chicken. Top with two yellow, red, and orange pepper pieces. Fold the chicken over and place it into a backing dish. In a mixing bowl, mix Almond Flower crumble and cover chicken with it. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes; uncover and back for approximately 30 minutes until 165°F. Allow to cool and ENJOY!

I love a good stuffed chicken, and Ricotta & Spinach Chicken with Pepper and Almond Crumble is no exception. I wanted to know if I would like the Dairy Free Kite Hill Ricotta Cheese or how it would hold up when cooking. It was a pleasant surprise, and I enjoyed it; it tasted like regular ricotta. It cooked and tasted like Ricotta Cheese. If you are looking for a substitute, I highly recommend it! It also goes great with my Dairy Free Mashed Potatoes.

I hope you enjoy this yummy dish as much as we do (dairy-free if you choose)
