It’s Sunday afternoon and I am sitting on the couch watching the NBA playoffs with Ayden. We are watching Golden State Warriors vs Portland Trail Blazers. He’s a die-hard Warriors fan! He knows so much about the players, he was just telling me Stephan Curry’s wife has her own restaurant and we needed to go there and eat LOL!!
Well speaking of food, I thought I should share this yummy recipe I made last week. It’s no secret that chicken is a great source of lean protein, but it can be so boring, right? This recipe is not boring, that’s for sure!!
It’s a play off my all time favorite pizza with chicken, spinach, goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes. These flavors just work really well with each other!! But I kicked it up a notch and added herbs from our garden into the goat cheese and instead of baking the chicken I wanted that chargrilled flavor from the grill.
It was a success!!
So…let’s get on with this recipe, shall we?
PS. Ayden is also giving me pointers he’s learning in English class ????, apparently, when you use dots you only need three to get your point across…

Ingredients

- Preheat and clean grill, place heat on low to med-low setting. Our grill gets really hot so low setting works for us.
- In a small bowl mix goat cheese and herbs together. In another bowl add a big a handful of spinach and set out about 16 sun-dried tomatoes (3-4 per each chicken breast).
- On a cutting board take each chicken breast and cut a slit in the center of the breast with a sharp knife cutting 3/4 the way through.
- Add a layer of the herbed goat cheese to the inside of the chicken breast
- Add a thin layer of spinach leaves
- Add 3-4 sun-dried tomatoes
- Fold the chicken together being careful of keeping the insides intact and secure the ends with 3-4 toothpicks
- Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper and garlic
- Spray grill with oil spray unless you have a well seasoned grill
- Add chicken to grill and cook for about at least 10 minutes per side. Use your judgement if you feel it should go longer.
- ~Enjoy!
