Goat Cheese and Mushroom Stuffed Chicken Breast

Step 1: In a bowl, mix goat cheese, garlic, fresh chopped herbs and lemon pepper.

Step 2: In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter. Brown mushrooms. Let cool and add into the cheese mixture.

Step 3: Place chicken breasts on a plate or plastic cutting board (specifically for raw meat). Take a sharp filleting knife, insert it into the thickest end of the chicken breast, horizontally, making a 1 1/2" slit, then push it in toward the other end, without going clear through. Then slice the inside toward the thickest side, without going clear through. So that you now have a pocket.

Step 4: With a spoon, take half of the goat cheese mixture and place in the pocket of the breast, distributing it inside by pushing on the top of the outside of it. Do the same with the other breast.

Step 5: Preheat oven to 325° F.

Step 6: Place oil in a medium-hot skillet.

Step 7: Put seasoned bread crumbs in a large shallow bowl and coat both sides of each stuffed chicken breast. Brown in oil on each side.

Step 8: Line a shallow baking dish with foil. Place browned chicken breasts in baking dish and place in preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes.
