Pesto Goat Cheese Chicken

Written By Amy Mackenzie

3️⃣ ingredient dinner? You’re going to want to try this one. Pesto and goat cheese is pretty much a no-fail combo, making this simple chicken recipe a winner. 🏆

INGREDIENTS:
🐓 Chicken breast
🌿 Pesto (homemade or store bought)
🧀 Goat cheese crumbles

STEPS:

  1. Preheat oven to 450F.

  2. Butterfly chicken breast, sprinkle with salt & pepper & smother in pesto.

  3. Place chicken in greased baking dish.

  4. Add goat cheese in the center of chicken & fold in half (I use toothpicks to hold in place).

  5. Bake for about 25 minutes until chicken reaches internal temp of 165F.

Tip: Try grilling the chicken instead of baking it. It’s less clean up and even more flavor. 👊🏻 I usually top chicken with a bit more pesto and goat cheese before serving. 🤤
