GOAT CHEESE AND SPINACH STUFFED CHICKEN



Goat Cheese and Spinach Stuffed Chicken image

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

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 boneless chicken breasts, skin-on
4 to 5 ounces garlic-and-herb goat cheese (recommended: Montrachet
3 sun-dried tomatoes, julienned
Good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place the chicken breasts on a sheet pan. Loosen the skin from the meat with your fingers, leaving 1 side attached. Cut the goat cheese into 1/2-inch-thick slices and place 1 or 2 slices plus 1/3 of the julienned sun-dried tomatoes under the skin of each chicken breast. Pull the skin over as much of the meat as possible so the chicken won't dry out. With your fingers, rub each piece with olive oil, and sprinkle them very generously with salt and pepper. Bake the chicken for 35 to 40 minutes, until the skin is lightly browned and the chicken is just cooked through. Serve hot or at room temperature.

CHICKEN STUFFED W/ SUN-DRIED TOMATOES & GOAT CHEESE



Chicken Stuffed W/ Sun-Dried Tomatoes & Goat Cheese image

This is from another Rose Reisman book. It's very good. The recipe calls for Chicken supreme with skin on for presentation but not to be eaten, and the wing still attached. I however, just a used a boneless chicken breast without skin for cost and convenience. Still great. I also topped the breast with the leftover stuffing before I baked it for a little extra flavor.
