This Sun Dried Tomato & Goat Cheese Chicken is the perfect harmony of creamy, savory, and tangy flavors. Chicken breasts are stuffed with a mixture of goat cheese, basil, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes, then seared and baked for a restaurant-quality dish that’s easy enough for weeknights but elegant enough for guests.
For a complete Mediterranean-inspired meal, pair this chicken with Slow Roasted Greek Lemon Potatoes. Their bright citrus notes and crispy texture beautifully complement the rich goat cheese and tangy sun-dried tomatoes. Add Roasted Celery Root and Carrots as a second side to round out the plate with earthy, caramelized vegetables that provide the perfect rustic contrast to this sophisticated main dish.

4 pieces chicken breasts
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
1/2 cup goat cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon basil
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking dish and set it aside for later use.
- Slice a pocket into each chicken breast, ensuring not to cut all the way through, to hold the stuffing.
- In a medium bowl, combine sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and fresh basil.
- Stuff each chicken breast with the tomato-goat cheese mixture, ensuring even distribution among the pieces.
- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the seared chicken into the baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain moisture and enhance flavors.
