Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2

Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast.

3

In a small bowl, mix the expired goat cheese crumbles with spinach leaves. Season with salt and pepper.

4

Stuff each chicken breast with the goat cheese and spinach mixture, pressing the edges to seal.

5

Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts until browned on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

6

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

7

Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

8

Serve the stuffed chicken breasts with a side salad or roasted vegetables.
