Stuffed Chicken Breast with Basil, Goat Cheese & Sun-Dried Tomatoes

I’ve always loved stuffed chicken breast as you can stuff them with literally anything and they will taste amazing!  I ordered some fresh basil last week so I wanted to use it, preferably with my goat cheese.  I decided to make some stuffed chicken breasts filled with goat cheese, fresh basil, and sun-dried tomatoes.  I served this chicken with some steamed broccoli!

Next time I think I’ll try stuffing them with some swiss chard and maybe mozzarella and tomatoes? The possibilities are endless! These breasts will be going in my lunch tomorrow, so can’t wait!!  This is the perfect dinner or lunch that is Keto friendly because it’s extremely low-carb! As usual, this recipe is low-carb, low-calorie, and gluten-free!
