Veggie-Goat-In Chicken Breasts

image

I see so many recipes with various vegetable-stuffed chicken breasts. I just had to make my own. We hope y’all enjoy it!

image

INGREDIENTS:
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Sea salt and pepper to taste
About 2 Tb Basil Pesto (I prefer Classico brand)
About 2 Tb Minced garlic
8 oz sliced green onions
1 small jar sliced pimentos
2 oz fresh spinach leaves
4 oz fresh baby Bella mushroom slices
4 oz goat cheese, crumbled (I tried an apricot sage flavored cheese and it worked well, however any crumbled cheese would work just as well)
4 oz tomato pesto (I prefer Classico brand)

Preheat oven to 350.

image

Place each chicken breast in a plastic zip-lock bag. Using a mallet, pound each to 1/4″ thickness.

image

Transfer to plate.

image

Repeat process for all chicken breasts. And set aside for assembling.

image

On a plate, working one at a time, place a chicken breast down and sprinkle salt and pepper on inside.

image

Add about 1/2 tsp pesto and using a separate spoon than dipping, spread evenly over chicken.

image

Add about 1/2 tsp minced garlic and spread with same spoon used with pesto.

image

Add green onions to taste.

image

Add some pimento slices.

image

Add one small handful fresh spinach leaves.

image

Arrange several mushrooms over spinach.

image

Scatter goat cheese over top. Roll up and place in large skillet or casserole.

image

Spread tomato pesto over each rolled up chicken breast.

Bake in oven 1 hour, covering halfway through.

Y’all Enjoy!
