This protein packed keto Christmas recipe is exactly what you need to make it through the holidays.  Chicken can be boring, but we’ve taken it to a whole other level with this twist on the classic muscle meal staple.  We’ve taken a Chicken, which is low in calories and high in overall protein, and packed it full of highly nutritious things like Almonds and Hazelnuts, which are full of good fats, and full of Cranberries which are full of healthy vitamins and provide a great holiday flavor!

The end result is a highly satisfying protein packed flavor bomb that will leave you full for hours!

BULKING TIPS

If you are bulking, need, or want to add calories to this amazing Christmas keto chicken dinner, you can mix the stuffing ingredients with cream cheese.  This will change the flavor profile somewhat, but the cream cheese will be full of great calories (protein and fats) while also positively complimenting the flavors that are already present.  I would add 4 ounces and fully mix it with the stuffing, and you can easily add a few 100 calories.  You can add more or less to taste and depending on your own personal nutritional requirements.

CUTTING TIPS

If you want to still enjoy this dish and cut some calories, there are some ways you can do it, but it will lessen the flavor.  You could start by halving the amount of almonds and hazelnuts and cranberries that go into the stuffings.  This will save you significant calories in the fat and carb department.  If you needed to go lower, you sacrifice losing a bit of protein by switching from Chicken bone broth, to a regular Chicken broth, and while you will lose some calories in the process, you will maintain your flavor.

Come each meal time, it is important that we are having a serve of both protein and healthy fats as part of what is plated before of us. The protein we receive from the foods we eat is used by every part of our body. Protein ensures our bodies develop, grow and function properly. It is also known that protein works at stabilising blood sugar levels, can help with weight loss, supports muscles and bones, not to mention helps with the absorption of vital nutrients.

Healthy fats such as omega 3’s found in salmon are an essential part of what we should be eating to live a healthy lifestyle. We need fat to absorb certain nutrients such as fat-soluble vitamins and antioxidants. Fat is also important for cell structure as well as nerve, brain and heart function. Omega 3’s are also well known for supporting healthy nail, skin and hair; can reduce the risk of heart disease and fight depression and anxiety!
