ingredients
4 chicken breast halves, deboned with skin, on
3 ounces goat cheese
2 cups fresh spinach, washed and cut small, (stems removed)
1 clove fresh garlic, minced
2 tablespoons pine nuts, roasted
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons corn and canola oil
salt and pepper, to taste
directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Saute garlic and spinach in olive oil until spinach is wilted. Put spinach in fine mesh colander (press spinach on colander with back of spoon to drain away excess liquid). After cooling completely, mix spinach with goat cheese and toasted pine nuts - season with salt and pepper.
Make a small lengthwise incision in all chicken breasts, put approximately 1 oz. of filling in each breast. Season breasts with salt and pepper.
Heat corn oil in saute pan until smoking. Sear breasts on both sides until lightly browned, approximately 2 minutes per side. Transfer breast, skin side up to roasting pan, sprinkle with rosemary and put on center rack of oven for approximately 12 - 15 minutes, or until chicken is completely cooked.

This was excellent. It required a number of steps and I did follow the suggestion of using toothpicks to hold it together. It probably would have been a disaster, if I hadn't! I will definitely make it again....it presents well, also! Enjoy!!

Quick, easy and absolutely delicious. Only thing I'd mention is that I needed to use toothpicks to close up the slits made for stuffing.
