How to Make Goat Cheese and Spinach Stuffed Chicken
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium. Add spinach and sauté until just wilted, about 1 minute, then set aside to cool briefly.
- In a bowl, stir together cooled spinach, creamy goat cheese, minced garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes until well mixed and spreadable.
- Slice a deep pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut through. Season inside and out with salt, pepper, and dried herbs.
- Spoon the goat cheese and spinach mixture evenly into each pocket. Use toothpicks to seal and prevent filling from escaping during cooking.
- Warm olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high. Sear stuffed breasts 3 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to a 375°F oven and bake 15 minutes.
- Remove chicken, let rest 5 minutes, then squeeze fresh lemon juice and sprinkle parsley.

Notes
Optional: add a dash of crushed red pepper for gentle heat. Use fresh spinach to maintain vibrant color and prevent watery filling.
