Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 ounces Goat cheese
• 0.333 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained and chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves (chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 8 pieces Toothpicks

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, make a horizontal slit along the thickest part of each chicken breast to create a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the goat cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, and minced garlic. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 4

Stuff each chicken breast pocket with an equal amount of the cheese mixture. Secure the openings with toothpicks to prevent the filling from spilling out.

Step 5

Brush the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika for seasoning.

Step 6

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the toothpicks before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
