Goat Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Goat cheese is lower in fat and calories than cheese made with whole cows' milk, and it's also very rich and creamy. This filling really dresses up a chicken breast!

Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts
1 medium package of goat cheese (about 6 oz)
2 green onion stalks
1 Tbsp herbs de provence
Something to bind chicken breast while cooking (toothpicks, twine, silicone bands, etc.)


1. Combine goat cheese, onion and herbs in a small bowl. 
 2. Slice each chicken breast through the thickest part about 3/4 of the way through. Do not cut it all the way through! Add filling.
 3. Close the chicken breast and bind it with bands or toothpicks.
 4. Cook on medium heat for about 4-5 minutes per side. This will vary based on the size and thickness of the meat.
5. Remove toothpicks (I haven't done so in this picture, yet.) and serve with a side of veggies.
