Goat Cheese Stuffed Dill Chicken

2 tbsp butter
4 cloves garlic
2 bell peppers (sliced, reserve the top and bottom chunks to dice up)
8 oz goat cheese
2 tbsp fresh dill
4 chicken breasts, split
Salt & pepper

Preheat oven to 375.

Melt the butter, sautee garlic, add in diced peppers. Reserve butter and transfer garlic and peppers to a bowl. Let cool for about 5 minutes. Add dill and mash together with goat cheese.

Open chicken breasts and stuff with goat cheese mixture. Place in baking dish and bake for about 35 minutes.

Sautee the pepper slices in remaining butter. Set aside for garnish.

If you’re feeling saucy you can make a “gravy” to drizzle over top… use the leftover butter (add more if it looks like there’s next to none left in the pan. 1-2tbsp should do it). Once butter is melted, sprinkle 4 tbsp into the butter (over low heat) gradually mixing flour and butter until the moisture is soaked up. Add ¼ cup milk, stirring to blend thoroughly. Add fresh dill if you wish!

Then I throw the pepper slices on a plate, bed the chicken breast on it, and scoop a spoonful or two of the sauce over top. YUM!

Simmered Chicken and Veggies

1 can chicken broth
1 small can tomato paste
1/2 bag spinach
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 zuchinni, halved and sliced
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
1/2 tomato, cut into chunks
2-4 chicken breasts (depending on how many people you are feeding!), butterflied
cavender's greek seasoning
italian seasoning
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup cooking sherry
1/4 c flour
Provolone cheese

Heat oil in large skillet. Add garlic. Sprinkle cavender's over chicken breasts. Once garlic is golden, add chicken to the pan. Cook chicken till outside turns white. Add italian seasoning. Add zuchini and red bell pepper. When zuchini is about half cooked, add broth and sherry. Lightly sprinkle in flour while stirring. Add tomato and spinach, cover and simmer on low to thicken the sauce. Continue cooking for about 15 minutes.

Spoon chicken and vegetables onto a plate. Put a slice of provolone on each breast, and add a spoonful of sauce over the cheese to melt. Enjoy!
