Chicken breasts stuffed with spinach, garlic, lemon zest, and delicious goat cheese and then baked in the oven with broth, white wine, and lemon juice.
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add spinach, season with salt and pepper, and cook approximately 2-3 minutes until spinach is wilted. Put spinach in a small bowl. Zest lemon into bowl. Add goat cheese and combine.
2. Clean and trim chicken breasts. Slice each chicken breast almost in half (but do not cut all the way through). Drizzle a little olive oil into each pocket (about half a teaspoon for each breast) and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Divide cheese mixture evenly between both breasts. Secure breast with toothpick(s). Sprinkle some additional salt and pepper on top.
3. In a pan, heat remaining Tablespoon of olive oil, add chicken breasts. Cook on each side approximately 3 minutes until chicken begins to brown. In a small (I used a 9×9) baking dish, add browned chicken breasts. Pour broth, wine, and the juice of one lemon evenly around the dish. Cover with foil and bake for approximately 15 minutes(remove foil the last 5 minutes) or until chicken is cooked thoroughly. Remove toothpicks, drizzle with sauce from the baking dish, and serve!
