directions

  • Heat oil in skillet.
  • Combine goat cheese, 2 cups spinach, sun dried tomatoes in food processor.
  • Pulse until well combined.
  • Spread mixture on one side of flattened chicken breasts.
  • Fold breasts in half, leaving cheese filling inside, and sprinkle on italian seasoning.
  • Place in skillet, seasoned side down, and cook on Medium until well browned.
  • Season exposed side and flip.
  • I often use a lid to help the chicken cook, the thinner you pound it the faster it will cook.
  • While the chicken finishes cooking, divide the remaining spinach between two plates.
  • Add any vegetable garnishes you'd like (we like sweet red and yellow peppers, also delicious with chopped up apples) and drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
  • When chicken has reached 165 degrees in the thickest part, remove from pan.
  • Let rest, then slice and plate atop spinach.

  1. I"m always looking for tasty new ways to serve chicken (breasts, mostly), & yours is now in there among those we like very much! Easy enough to make & delicious, too! I'm not usually one for cooked spinach (although my other half loves it), but in this recipe it worked out very nicely! Thanks for a great keeper!
