The kids are home, the homework is done and now it’s time for dinner. The only issue? You’ve been advised to eat a low-fiber diet, but you need a meal that the whole family can eat. There’s a solution to this problem, and no, it does not involve becoming a short order cook.
Provolone stuffed chicken breast served with white rice will be appealing to your entire family while fulfilling your pre-colonoscopy dietary requirements. If brown rice is normally on your dinner plate, white rice may just be a welcome change. Or if you eat white rice regularly, this will be a yummy way to spice up a favorite dish.
Putting cheese in the chicken breast before baking it makes dinner more exciting, and you won’t feel like you’re missing out while eating a small amount of fiber. One of the great things about this recipe is its versatility. You can add different items to your chicken breast each time. Get creative. Stuff chicken with Swiss cheese or maybe spinach for a different flavor. This is a meal that will get a stamp of approval from your doctor – and your family.
