Ingredients
- 4 bonless skinless chicken breasts
- 4 lemon slices
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup Green Goddess
- salt and pepper
- parsley
Instructions
- Slice a pocket into each chicken breast by laying it flat on a cutting board, and making a horizontal incision without going all the way through the chicken.
- Stuff each breast with about 1/4 cup of Green Goddess.
- Place the stuffed chicken breasts into a baking dish with raised sides. Add salt and pepper to the top of each breast, then top with a tbsp of butter, and a slice (or two) of lemon.
- Bake at 375-F for about 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature has reached 165-F.
- Serve with a green veggie and enjoy!
Notes
Recipe Card Tips
- Use a meat thermometer and pull the chicken at 165°F. A stuffed breast is harder to judge visually than a plain one.
- Don't skimp on the butter. At least a tablespoon per breast is what forms the pan sauce.
- Keep raw chicken away from the bowl of filling you're scooping from, since you likely won't use the whole batch in one sitting.
