Goat cheese-stuffed chicken breast with balsamic-blueberry salsa and fresh mint on a white plate.

Ingredients

For The Chicken:

  • 1 chicken breast cut into two
  • Salt and pepper
  • Italian seasoning
  • 2 ounces goat cheese

For The Salsa:

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon red onion minced
  • 1 tablespoon+ 1 teaspoon fresh basil minced
  • 2 teaspoon white balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper

For The Wilted Greens:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 10 cups spring mix greens packed 1 large package
  • 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat your grill to medium heat.
  • Butterfly the chicken breasts, using a sharp knife, cutting almost all the way through, but not quite. Open up each breast, lay it flat between two pieces of parchment paper, and gently pound to 1/4-inch thick using a meat mallet or rolling pan. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  • Place 1 ounce of goat cheese along the center of each breast and roll up, lengthwise, until the goat cheese is covered. Tie to secure with kitchen twine and a few toothpicks.

  • Grill the chicken until no longer pink inside, about 6 minutes per side, flipping once. Remove from grill and cover to rest until remaining ingredients are done.
  • Cut the blueberries in half and place them into a small bowl. Toss with the minced red onion, basil, white balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Gently mash the blueberries with a fork, leaving a few chunky for texture.

  • Heat the olive oil up in a large pan on medium heat. Add in the garlic and cook until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add in the greens and continue turning over with tongs until the greens just begin to wilt, about 1 minute. You may need to work in batches if your pan is small.
  • Add in the white balsamic vinegar and cook until the vinegar has almost completely evaporated, turning the greens continuously, about another 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Plate the wilted greens and top with a chicken breast and the blueberry salsa.
  • DEVOUR.
