I made this Chicken Apple Cheesecake randomly in my Instagram stories the other day and posted the full recipe HERE….but I took way too many photos (the struggle of a food blogger! LOL) so I just had to post the recipe on the blog (plus it’s easier to search and access later on!
• Easy To Digest
• Gluten Free
• Grain Free
• High in Protein
• Contains Probiotics (from the cottage cheese)
• Aids in Gut Health (from Vital Proteins gelatin)
If you don’t know all the health benefits of Vital Proteins gelatin (something I have been taking EVERY SINGLE DAY for years without fail!) then I highly suggest reading THIS POST to get in the know!
This “cheesecake” can actually be eaten as a whole meal since I used 2 small chicken breasts from a Sprouts rotisserie chicken (plain) and the recipe creates to “cakes.”
You’ve got your:
• Protein (chicken, cottage cheese, and gelatin)
• Healthy Fats (nuts)
• Healthy Carbs, produce, and fiber (apple)
The pans I used for the recipe are THESE ONES.
Crust:
– Equal parts raw walnuts and almonds (I didn’t measure)
Directions:
1. Pulse nuts in blender until they turn into crumbs and press down firmly into pans.
“Cheesecake” Ingredients:
– 2 small pre-cooked chicken breasts
– 1 whole apple
– 1/2 cup Nancy’s cottage cheese
– 1/2 cup water
– 2 scoops Vital Proteins gelatin
Directions:
1. Blend everything until smooth and creamy and pour into prepared tins with crust. Refrigerate 1-2 hours.
2. Top tith crushes nuts and drizzle with raw honey if desired.
I just blended it all up and (gently) tossed it into the refrigerator. (I added a dash of Saigon Cinnamon #CostcoBuy (: ). I’m eager to discover the results!! I am a bit skeptical about how my trial will turn out, however– I didn’t have precooked chicken breast, so I took a chance with roughly seven ounces of canned chicken. Do you happen to know how many ounces your chicken breasts measured to be?
Also, I want to emphasize this again:
Thank you for sharing your innovative recipes (and doing so without expecting anything in return. There are very few people who are willing to freely share their knowledge with the world — HIGH-quality, genuine knowledge and expertise, that is! So thank you (: ).
Wow, Bethany. Another genius genius recipe! Who knew these ingredients could make a cake so delicious?! Thank you for sharing! If I can’t find Nancy’s cottage cheese where I live, can I sub Nancy’s yogurt instead?
Hi Ashley,
Yes of course! 🙂
