Grilled Stuffed Chicken

This is the perfect summer dish to throw on the grill...and it's great for entertaining too because it looks really impressive! Unfortunately...the night I wanted to grill this, it started raining so I busted out the ol' grill pan (if you don't have one of these, I highly recommend it) and grilled them inside. Equally delicious! I absolutely LOVE anything involving goat cheese so I really like this combination of chicken, sundried tomatoes, goat cheese and fresh basil. Definitely a great summer grill dish!

Ingredients:
Chicken breasts
Sundried tomatoes
Goat cheese
Basil leaves
Juice of 1 lemon
2 TBS. olive oil
Salt & Pepper
A few toothpicks

1. Butterfly the chicken breasts open (unless you buy them butterflied already).

2. Layer 2 basil leaves, a few sundried tomatoes and a little bit of goat cheese inside the chicken breast.

3. Close up and secure with 2 toothpicks so everything doesn't fall out.

4. Marinate the chicken breasts in a mixture of lemon juice, olive oil and salt & pepper.

5. Place on the grill, cook evenly on both sides until fully cooked. The timing really depends on how thick the chicken breasts are.

(Note: If the chicken doesn't look fully cooked when you take it off the grill, you can place them on a pan and finished them in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes or so)
