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! :)
