What's for dinner? Almond Chèvre Chicken

Everyone in my family loves this, even my 4 year old. Goat’s cheese provides calcium and potassium. Many people who cannot tolerate dairy products find they are able to enjoy goat’s cheese.

3 chicken breasts
3 TBS goat’s cream cheese, or chèvre
¼ C almond flour, or ground almond (use a mortar and pestal and raw almonds if you can’t buy this in a store)
3-6 basil or spinach leaves

Slice each breast sideways in the middle. Place on baking sheet. Stuff each breast with 1 TBS of cheese and a few basil or spinach leaves. Pat almond flour on top of each breast and lightly drizzle with olive oil. Bake at 375 for 30-40 minutes.

Serves 2 adults and 2 kids. Great with steamed vegetables.
