Chicken Stuffed with Goat Cheese and Arugula

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Using a sharp knife, make a lengthwise cut in the thickest part of each chicken breast to create a pocket for stuffing. Be careful not to cut all the way through.

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, both inside and out.

In a small bowl, mix together the goat cheese and chopped arugula until well combined.

Stuff each chicken breast pocket with the goat cheese and arugula mixture, dividing it evenly among the breasts.

Secure the openings with toothpicks to prevent the stuffing from falling out during cooking.

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Sear the stuffed chicken breasts in the skillet until browned on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Discard the toothpicks and slice the stuffed chicken breasts. Serve warm and enjoy!
