Roasted Red Pepper and Goat Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375 F. Preheat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.

2. 2

   Using a sharp knife and being very careful, cut a 1-inch slit into the thickest part of the chicken, being careful not to cut all the way through.

3. 3

   Gently move the knife around to make the little pouch in the chicken breast bigger without opening it up too much on the outside.

   Repeat with all of the chicken breasts.

   Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.

6. 6

7. 7

   Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized balls and press one ball into each chicken breast.

8. 8

   Use a few toothpicks to close up the slit in the chicken breast so that the filling doesnt fall out!

   Add the olive oil into the hot pan and place the seasoned and stuffed chicken breasts in the hot oil.
