Ingredients

4 pieces chicken breasts

1 cup roasted red peppers, chopped

4 ounces goat cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried basil

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) while you prepare the ingredients.

Slice a pocket into each chicken breast carefully, making sure not to cut all the way through.

In a bowl, mix the chopped roasted red peppers and goat cheese until well combined.

Stuff the chicken breasts with the red pepper and goat cheese mixture, then secure them with toothpicks.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side.

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the chicken for 20 minutes until fully cooked.

Remove chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps retain juiciness.

Serve the chicken warm with a side of your favorite vegetables or a fresh green salad.
