BAKED ITALIAN CHICKEN BREAST WITH BRIE
Relatively simple baked boneless chicken breast with Italian flavorings topped with melted Brie...aka suuuuper yummy. Good for a romantic dinner (you can skip the garlic) or to impress family and friends. This dish is really fun because you can customize it easily. For example, instead of prosciutto try sliced artichoke hearts, or try a different soft cheese on top. Make it more southwestern with pepperjack cheese, light beer, and bell peppers. Guys love it.

BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH SPINACH, PEARS AND BLUE CHEESE
wholefoodsmarket.com recipe, says "The fall flavor combination of pears and blue cheese brings a seasonal element to an otherwise simple chicken dish. Great for a dinner party!" It may appear like a fussy dish, but it was very easy and simple to prepare. I transferred the chicken breasts to a dish to bake while using the same pan for searing, sauteing the onions and spinach and for warming the pears. I served it with a millet pilaf dish. Next time I will use more red onion.

Tips:
- To ensure your chicken breasts are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before removing them from the oven.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the chicken is cooked by piercing it with a fork. If the juices run clear, it is cooked. If the juices are still pink, it needs to cook for longer.
- For a crispier topping, sprinkle some breadcrumbs or grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken breasts before baking.
- If you want a more flavorful chicken dish, you can marinate the chicken breasts in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices before baking.
- To save time, you can use pre-cooked chicken breasts in this recipe. Just heat them through in the oven before adding the cheese and baking until melted.
