GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH PESTO, PEPPERS AND GOAT CHEESE image

Categories     Chicken     Quick & Easy

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
Packaged Pesto
2 Roasted Red Peppers, sliced into thin strips
1 4 ounce log goat cheese
Olive oil, salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Butterfly chicken and then pound between waxed paper so that chicken is even but not too thin. Spread approx. 2 teaspoons or so of pesto over entire chicken breast, to form a thin layer. Place roasted red pepper strips on one side of chicken, about 4-6 slices, depending upon thickness of slices, to cover one half of chicken breast. Crumble approx. 1 tablespoon goat cheese over peppers. Fold the chicken over the peppers and cheeses like a book. Seal sides together with 4 toothpicks, to keep filling sealed in, creating a packet. Brush chicken packet all over with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill over med. high heat until lightly golden, turning once. Be careful of over cooking; it cooks quickly due to thinness of chicken. Remove to plate and serve with remaining red peppers on the side.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add some grilled vegetables to the mix.

I thought the pesto was a bit too overpowering. Next time I'll use less of it.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the pesto and goat cheese helped to make up for it.

I'm not usually a big fan of goat cheese, but it really worked in this dish. The flavors were all so well-balanced.

This grilled chicken recipe is a keeper! The chicken was so juicy and flavorful, and the pesto-pepper-goat cheese combo was divine. I'll definitely be making this again.
