Roasted red pepper and goat cheese stuffed chicken breasts
Roasted Red Pepper and Goat Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 oz. herbed soft goat cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped roasted red pepper
dash of table salt
kosher salt
paprika
fresh ground pepper
olive oil
Combine goat cheese, roasted red pepper, and a dash of salt. Crumble the goat cheese with your fingers, loosely mixing in the other ingredients.
Cut a pocket into each chicken breast. Loosely fill the pockets with the goat cheese mixture and close tightly using toothpicks. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with paprika, kosher salt, and fresh ground pepper.
On medium high, heat just enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the skillet. Sear the breasts about 2 minutes on each side (or until they no longer stick to the pan). Reduce heat to medium and cook until chicken is done, about 8 minutes per side. Note: this time will vary depending on the size of the chicken breast.
