If you’re fresh out of ideas for reinventing plain old chicken, this is the recipe for you! Not only is this dish incredibly flavorful, but it’s one of the easiest to make-perfect for when you’re in a pinch and need to whip up something healthy and tasty! Serve with brown rice and a side salad and you’re ready to roll!
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
4 oz soft, herbed goat cheese
Small bunch of fresh basil leaves
Salt and pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using a sharp knife, make a slit along the long side of each breast, creating a pocket. Divide the cheese evenly between all four breasts and tuck three basil leaves in each.
Close the openings and season chicken with salt and pepper. Line breasts on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray and bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
