Sheet Pan Almond Crusted Chicken Stuffed With Smoked Cheddar and Bacon

Sheet Pan Almond Crusted Chicken Stuffed With Smoked Cheddar and Bacon is just what I need right now. I have leftover bacon and smoked cheddar cheese from my Smoked Cheddar Jalapeno Bacon Dip recipe that I would like to use. I have also become a sheet pan connoisseur as of late. 🙂 I have created at least one dish a week for the last month. I am truly addicted! Another great thing about this dish is that it’s low-carb, with only 6 grams, net. Although, this dish is breaded, using the almond meal really helps with the overall macros here. Almonds are low in carbs.

After baking the chicken for 20 minutes, covered, remove the chicken and add the veggies to the pan. Bake for an additional 10 minutes uncovered.
