The Stuffed Skinny Chick

Stuffed Chicken Breasts

This is a recipe I have made in the past and everyone LOVED it! Eating clean can really really really suck get very monotonous eating the same bland foods over and over and over and over and over and after a while chicken just starts to taste terrible, gaging it down! So I took something that is oh so good for you and made it taste oh so good too! You will notice that we are using goat cheese again, because cheese is delicious! the reason we use goat cheese is because it is low carb and zero sugar. Most dairy products are higher in sugar and carbs but with goat cheese it may be higher in fat but it has so much more flavor and is so much better for you! Lets give the cows a few days off ;). The prep time with this dish is pretty minimal so lets get started!

Grocery List:

2 8oz Chicken Breasts
4oz Soft Goat Cheese (Plain or Herbs and Garlic is yum yum yummy too!)
4oz Hickory Smoked (Honey Roasted) Jennie-O Deli Turkey
1 Tbsp. Dijon Mustard (Any spicy mustard is great!)
2 Tsp. Garlic Salt
1 Tsp. Basil
1 Tbsp. Bread Crumbs
Pam
2 Tbsp. Scallions (Optional) These add a lot of great flavor and zest...I say go for it!
