So you have a couple chicken breasts in the refrigerator. What to do with them that you haven't done ten times already. If you are trying to eat well and be health conscious plain grilled chicken is a great option. But day after day of grilled chicken can get boring and make you want to jump on a cheeseburger if given the chance. I am constantly trying to find new and better ways to make chicken interesting. This is now one of my favorite recipes because it is simple and tastes awesome.
First you will need 1 chicken breast per person and a very sharp knife. You want to trim the fat off and lay the breast with the thickest side facing your cutting hand. Slice horizontally toward the thinner edge until you have almost cut the breast in half. Should look like a heart when spread fully. Do this with all the breasts.
Now you are ready to stuff. For this particular recipe I used fresh Basil, grape tomatoes, spinach and goat cheese. Seasoning with pepper, sea salt and Slap Ya Mama seasoning (my personal favorite.)
I seasoned the chicken then began layering the stuffings. This is super easy because there is no need to tie or bind the chicken breast to keep the stuffing inside.
They don't have to be perfect to taste delicious.
Your next step is to heat your oven to 350 and prepare your pan. I line a cookie sheet with foil and place a metal cooling rack on top of it. Spray it with olive or coconut oil so the chicken won't stick to it.
Fold the breast over the stuffing and season the outside again. I drizzled a little olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt. And of course, the Slap Ya Mama!
It's a southern thing!
Move the chicken breasts onto the rack and bake for 30 minutes. You can serve with a green salad or quinoa for a great, healthy dinner.
Finished cooking and ready to eat.
Simple, healthy and delicious. Try stuffing with sun dried tomatoes, spinach and mozzarella. Or Asparagus, mushrooms and swiss cheese.
