Spinach and Artichoke Stuffed Chicken
Ingredients
- 1/2 onion chopped
- 1/2 can artichokes chopped well
- 1/2 pack spinach frozen
- 1 clove garlic
- 4 oz goat cheese
- 4 chicken breast
- salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup white wine
Instructions
- Heat pan over medium heat. Drizzle in olive oil, add in onions and cook until tender. Add in artichokes and spinach and garlic. Cook until heat through. Add in goat cheese, breaking up apart until goat cheese is melted and everything is combined. Set aside to cool.
- Take the chicken breast, and butterfly them (or you can ask your butcher to do this for you!). Place some filling inside the chicken breast and fold back over. Secure chicken breast with toothpicks so the filling stays inside.
- Preheat oven 350F. Heat an oven safe pan with a drizzle of canola oil over medium high heat. Place chicken and sear until golden brown (about 3 minutes). Flip chicken over, add ½ cup white wine and bake in oven for 15-20 minutes until chicken is fully cooked.
- Let sit for 5 minutes, and serve with veggies such as asparagus and a starch such as brown rice.
