@kalejunkie: @kalejunkie HIGH PROTEIN CHICKEN PITA POCKET, for my protein girls 🙋🏻‍♀️! I was craving @madelainerascan’s spinach and cheese version and had to try it. You guys it’s so good and now I’m dreaming up all kinds of different fillings. This entire calzone is 72 grams of protein, 12 grams fat, and 22 grams carbs 🙌🏼. ⁣ ⁣ Be sure to FOLLOW me @kalejunkie for more easy, protein-forward recipes!⁣ ⁣ Makes 2 servings⁣ 1 lb lean ground chicken (I used 98/2)⁣ 1 tsp olive oil⁣ 1 tsp garlic powder⁣ 1 tsp onion powder⁣ 1 tsp Italian seasoning⁣ 1 tsp kosher salt⁣ 1/2 tsp ground black pepper⁣ 2 tb grated parmesan cheese⁣ 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese⁣ 2 cups spinach ⁣ 2 cloves garlic, minced⁣ 1 tsp olive oil ⁣ Serve with: marinara sauce of choice ⁣ ⁣ Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a bowls, add the ground chicken, oil, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated. Transfer to the baking sheet and spread into a thin, even layer, about 1/4” thick. If it’s sticky, just oil your spatula and that will make it easier to spread. Set aside. Spray a non stick skillet lightly with oil spray. Turn heat on to medium. Once the pan is hot; add the garlic and sauté 30 seconds then add in the spinach. Sauté until the spinach has wilted and remove from the heat. On one side of the chicken, spread the cottage cheese. Add the sauteed spinach on top. Fold the chicken over, closing the calzone. Gently remove the top of the parchment paper and gently close the edges (I did it with a greased spatula). Sprinkle Parmesan cheese all over the top. Bake 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven. Let cool a few minutes before cutting in half. Serve with marinara and enjoy! #highproteinrecipes #bodybuilderrecipes #chickencalzone #lowcarbdinner
