Chicken breast, goat cheese and fire-roasted tomatoes

Healthy great tasting low calorie chicken dish

  • 4 (4-ounce) trimmed boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup canned, drained, diced pre-roasted tomatoes or pre-roasted tomatoes with garlic
  • 2 ounces (about 1/2 cup) goat cheese crumbles
  • 2 tablespoons finely slivered fresh basil leaves, or more to taste (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

reheat the oven to 350° F. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Place a medium ovenproof nonstick skillet over high heat. When it’s hot, lightly mist the skillet with spray and immediately add the chicken side by side to the pan so it does not touch.  Cook the chicken until is it cooked on the inside and golden brown on the outsides.

Remove the pan from the heat and cut each piece of chicken down the middle and fill chicken evenly with  tomatoes, followed by the cheese and put tooth picks through to hold together. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the chicken until cheese is melted, 5 minutes. Top evenly with the basil, if desired. Serve immediately.
