Goat Cheese and Spinach Stuffed Chicken image

This spinach-stuffed chicken breast recipe is special to me because it has so much flavor, yet not too many calories. I love Italian food, but most of the time it is too heavy. This is a healthy twist on an Italian dish! -Nicole Stevens, Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ cup olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon sea salt
4 chicken breasts, pounded flat
½ cup balsamic vinegar
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1 (8 ounce) package mozzarella cheese, sliced
2 large Roma tomatoes, sliced
16 toothpicks, or as needed
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Mix olive oil, garlic, onion powder, black pepper, and sea salt together in a bowl. Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour marinade on top. Refrigerate at least 4 hours.
  • Heat balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan to a slow boil. Allow to boil for 15 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. Cook until vinegar has reduced to half the original volume. Allow balsamic reduction to cool completely.

CHICKEN BREASTS STUFFED WITH GOAT CHEESE AND BASIL



Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Goat Cheese and Basil image

Categories     Chicken     Mushroom     Bake     Goat Cheese     Basil     White Wine     Bon Appétit     New York

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

Chicken
4 boneless chicken breast halves, skinned
1/2 cup fresh goat cheese (such as Montrachet) (about 4 ounces)
2 green onions, thinly sliced
3 basil leaves, shredded or 1 teaspoon dried, crumbled
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 egg, beaten to blend
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter melted
Mushroom-Wine Sauce
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup dry white wine
2/3 cup chicken stock or canned low-salt broth
4 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter (1/2 stick), cut into 4 pieces
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • For chicken:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Pound chicken between sheets of waxed paper to thickness of 1/4 inch using meat mallet. Pat chicken dry. Combine cheese, green onions and basil in small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Spread cheese mixture lengthwise over half of each chicken piece. Tuck short ends in. Roll chicken up, starting at one long side, into tight cylinders. Tie ends with string to secure. Dip chicken in egg, allowing excess to drip into bowl. Roll in breadcrumbs, shaking off excess. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Refrigerate.)
  • Place chicken in 8-inch square baking dish. Pour 2 tablespoons melted butter over. Bake until cooked through, about 20 minutes.
  • For sauce:
  • Meanwhile, melt 1/4 cup butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until tender, about 8 minutes. Add wine and boil 3 minutes. Add stock and boil until liquid is reduced by half, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and swirl in 4 tablespoons cold butter 1 piece at a time. Season sauce with salt and freshly ground pepper. Remove string from chicken. Cut rolls crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Fan on plates. Serve immediately, passing sauce separately.

Tips:

  • For a crispy crust, pat the chicken breasts dry before searing them. This will help the skin brown and crisp up.
  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar. A cheap balsamic vinegar will not have the same flavor or consistency as a more expensive one.
  • If you don't have balsamic glaze, you can make your own by reducing balsamic vinegar in a saucepan over low heat until it thickens.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken breasts. They should be cooked through but still moist and juicy.
  • Serve the chicken breasts immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Balsamic goat cheese stuffed chicken breasts are a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The chicken is moist and flavorful, and the balsamic glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor. The goat cheese filling is creamy and tangy, and it pairs perfectly with the chicken and balsamic glaze. This dish is sure to impress your guests, and it is easy to make. So next time you are looking for a special dish to serve, give balsamic goat cheese stuffed chicken breasts a try.
