Grape and Goat Cheese Stuffed Chicken

This elegant main dish combines the sweetness of grapes with creamy goat cheese, all wrapped in tender chicken breast. Perfect for a sophisticated dinner yet simple enough for a weeknight meal.

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). 2. In a small bowl, mix the goat cheese, halved grapes, salt, pepper, and thyme until well combined. 3. Carefully slice the chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket. 4. Stuff the chicken pocket with the grape and goat cheese mixture. 5. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. 6. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 75°C). 7. Drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.
