Piščančji Zrezek, Polnjen s Pršutom in Sirom
Chicken Breast Stuffed with Prosciutto and Cheese
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no breading or flour is used in the preparation. About 3g net carbs per serving, lower than 8 in 10 Slovenian dishes.
What it is
Tender chicken breast, pan-fried or baked, generously stuffed with savory cured Slovenian prosciutto (kraški pršut) and a rich local cheese like Tolminc or another suitable cheese, then cooked to perfection. Served without starchy sides.
Key ingredients
Chicken breast, prosciutto, Tolminc cheese (or similar firm cheese), olive oil or butter, salt, pepper, optional herbs (e.g., parsley).
How to make it keto
Ensure no breading or flour is used in the preparation. Request it to be pan-fried or baked in butter/oil. Explicitly ask for no carb-heavy sides like potatoes or rice; opt for a green salad or blanched keto vegetables instead.
Say this to the waiter (Slovenian)
Prosim, brez paniranja ali moke. Pražite ali pecite na maslu/olju. Lahko dobim zeleno solato ali blanširano keto zelenjavo namesto krompirja/riža?
No breading or flour, please. Pan-fry or bake in butter/oil. Can I have a green salad or blanched keto vegetables, not potatoes/rice?
Watch out for
Hidden flour or breadcrumbs in stuffing (unlikely for this specific dish but always confirm), sugar in cured meats (less common in quality prosciutto), starchy side dishes.
