Sun Dried Tomato & Feta Chicken Bake
Sun Dried Tomato & Feta Chicken Bake
Ready for some flavor change in your baked chicken dinner? We loved this meal so much, I made it twice in a week! This meal is packed with protein and perfect for weight-loss surgery patients. If you had the Gastric Sleeve, Gastric Bypass or Gastric Banding surgery…enjoy this meal using tiny bites maybe even with a cocktail fork and eating slowly – ideally 20 to 30 minutes for your meal.
Add a vegetable such as steamed carrots or cherry tomatoes! This brings in flavor change, texture changes and some fiber. I would recommend having two bites of protein (chicken) to every one bite of your veggie!

Do you put the nutrition value of your recipes anywhere?. I would like to know who to record to keep track of my intake.
Hi Marianne! Because there is so much variation on how you can make the recipes, I don’t provide the nutrition breakdown but instead recommend using the MyFitnessPal App where you can input a recipe very easily. This provides much more accuracy for you. All the recipes will be protein focused and low in carbohydrates. Thanks for coming by! :)
I love sundried tomatoes so I was looking forward to this one. My whole house smelled amazing as this was baking. I overcooked it a little so I was a little disappointed in the chicken being a little dry, but the topping and the creaminess of the feta kind of counter-acted it, and it was great. It was so easy to put together and well worth all the good smells in the house and the slightly garlicky, slightly tart, slightly creamy flavors in the topping.
