Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Combine bread crumbs, lemon rind, salt, pepper, artichoke hearts and goat cheese; stir well to incorporate.

Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap. Pound chicken to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet. Top each breast half wit 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture. Roll up jelly roll fashion. Tuck in sides; secure each roll with toothpicks.

Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-heat. Add chicken to pan and cook 3 minutes to a side or until browned.

Wrap the handle of the skillet with foil and bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes or until the chicken is done.
