Dinner can be one of the hardest meals to prepare, but it really doesn’t have to be. Just a little bit of planning and quick easy dinner can be put together. Key here, is PLANNING. With kiddos being rushed here or there, homework needing to get done, and all else life throws our way can make “what are we having for dinner” a rush to get something on the table.
When I plan out my meals and do some meal prep during the week, my life goes so much smoother. Even if I didn’t get any prep work done, I try to keep my meals simple so they are still easy to throw together. I wasn’t always a planner when it comes to meals, but it just clicked one day with me. I plan for almost everything else in life (sporting events, meetings, church, school, etc.) why wouldn’t I take the same time and plan meals? Why wouldn’t I want to be sure they get a good balanced meal? Why…Why…Why… Really something to think about. I am in control, I have the options available. I know at times I may get in a bind, so a quick breakfast for dinner is what we have if I am short on time. I can quickly throw eggs and veggies with a salad on a table. I can fire up the grill and have a meal out in less than 30 minutes. That is exactly what I did this week. Fired up the grill and made some chicken!
Grilled Chicken Stuffed with Goat Cheese:
Ingredients:
- Chicken breast (I did 5)
- Goat Cheese
- Lemon Pepper Dressing ( Tessemae’s is the brand I use. Can find it here)
- Toothpicks
***I buy organic when I can
Here is the 3 ingredient needed to throw this quick dinner together.
Lay out the chicken breast on the cutting board and some parchment paper, or put in a zip lock bag.
Pound chicken to even them out and flatten them a little.
Transfer them to a dish bowl and add the lemon pepper dressing. Enough dressing to coat them. Massage the dressing in.
Lay chicken breast one at a time on the cutting board and add goat cheese.
Roll chicken and secure with a toothpick.
Grill until internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees. ( I did a couple breast without goat cheese in them too)
Serve with your favorite sides. A few of mine are green beans with almonds, acorn squash with coconut cream, baked potatoes, salad, etc.
Enjoy this simple and easy dinner!
