Steps:
- Drain the artichokes in a colander over a bowl, reserving the liquid. Coarsely chop the artichoke hearts. In a medium bowl, combine the artichokes, cheese, 2 tablespoons chives, 1 teaspoon thyme, and 1 teaspoon lemon zest; stir well.
- Cut a horizontal slit in the thickest portion of each chicken breast half to form a pocket. Stuff about ¼ cup of the artichoke mixture into each pocket. Sprinkle the chicken with pepper.
- Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 chicken breasts, and cook 6 minutes on each side or until the chicken is done. Remove the chicken from the skillet. Set aside; keep warm. Repeat the procedure with 1 teaspoon of oil and the remaining chicken breasts.
- Add the reserved artichoke liquid, ½ teaspoon thyme, and ½ teaspoon lemon zest to the skillet. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and lemon juice; stir well. Add to the skillet. Cover and simmer for 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
- Spoon the sauce over the chicken and top with 2 tablespoons of chives.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir shallot until translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour balsamic vinegar into skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until balsamic vinegar mixture is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Stir often.
- Cut chicken breasts from one side through the middle horizontally to within one-half inch of the other side. Open the two sides and spread them out like an open book.
- Spread half the goat cheese onto one half of each chicken breast and drizzle 1/3 of the reduced balsamic vinegar mixture over the goat cheese. Close the chicken breasts over the goat cheese and secure with toothpicks. Arrange chicken into a baking dish. Drizzle with remaining 1/3 of the balsamic reduction.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink inside, the filling is hot, and the juices run clear, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of a filled breast should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

GOAT CHEESE AND SPINACH STUFFED CHICKEN
This spinach-stuffed chicken breast recipe is special to me because it has so much flavor, yet not too many calories. I love Italian food, but most of the time it is too heavy. This is a healthy twist on an Italian dish! -Nicole Stevens, Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Using a paring knife, make an incision in the side of each chicken breast, passing the knife though horizontally to make a slit but not cutting through the other side of the breast. With the paring knife inserted, rotate the knife to carve out a bit more space and create a pocket. Season the outside and inside of the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Lightly beat the egg white in a bowl to break it up, then add the goat cheese, parsley, tarragon, shallots, mustard and lemon zest and mix until incorporated. Transfer the mixture to a resealable plastic bag (or piping bag). Snip off a corner of the plastic bag and pipe the mixture into each chicken breast until filled.
- Heat the oil in a large ovenproof saute pan over medium-high heat until hot and glistening. Add the chicken breasts skin-side down and cook until the skin turns a dark golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the butter, garlic and thyme, then flip and transfer the pan to the oven; cook the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
