Directions
Heat a cast-iron griddle over medium-high heat until hot. Cut a small incision into each chicken breast to form a pocket for stuffing. Stuff 1 tablespoon Goat Cheese and 2 tablespoons Basil Pesto into each pocket. Season chicken all over with salt and pepper.
Spray griddle with cooking spray. Place chicken on hot griddle and sear on each side for at least 3 minutes and then check for doneness. The temperature should register 165 degrees F when measured with an instant-read thermometer. Meanwhile, warm remaining Basil Pesto in the microwave. Pour remaining pesto over chicken breasts and serve. |
