Spinach Goats Cheese and Pesto Stuffed Chicken Breast With a Lem image

Here is a very yummy stuffed chicken breast recipe, packed with flavour served with a delicious accompanying sauce. I love doing stuffed chicken breasts as there are so many different combinations you can try and I have to say there are not many I have tried that don't work.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 large chicken breasts
200 g Baby Spinach
300 g soft fresh goat cheese, all rind removed
8 teaspoons basil pesto (I use about 2 teaspoons per breast, or enough to cover breast completely.)
4 sun-dried tomatoes, in oil, drained
8 slices prosciutto
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon chicken stock powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cornflour
3 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped
2 tablespoons cream
1 pinch cayenne
pepper

Steps:

  • Pound chicken breasts with a meat mallet until approximately the same thickness all over (about 1/4 inch.).
  • Boil spinach until tender, drain and squeeze out all excess water. In a bowl combine spinach with goats cheese until well mixed.
  • Spread 2 teaspoons pesto over the inside of each breast to cover completely. Spread spinach mix down the centre of each breast lengthwise. Cut each tomato into 4 slices and place slices on top of spinach to run the length of breast. (1 Tomato per breast.).
  • Fold breast over to cover filling and wrap 2 slices of prosciutto around each breast to secure.
  • Lightly oil the bottom of a baking dish and place breasts inside. Bake breast in pre-heated oven 180c for 45-50 Min's or until chicken is cooked through. (cooking times will vary according to the thickness of breast.).
  • For The Sauce:.
  • Heat milk and chicken stock in a saucepan, mix cornflour with a little water, add to milk stir until mixture thickens slightly.
  • Add Dijon, lemon juice and wine stir to combine, Add cream, cayenne, parsley and pepper to taste. Heat sauce over medium heat until sauce has thickened.
  • Note: You can leave sauce over a low heat, stirring from time to time, while chicken finishes cooking.
  • To serve: Slice chicken in half, plate and drizzle with sauce.
