By jennKI

Ingredients

• 4 boneless chicken breast halves, skinned
• 1/2 c. fresh goat cheese, about 4 oz.
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 3 basil leaves, shredded or 1 tsp. dried, crumbled
• 2 tbsp. unsalted butter (or coconut oil), melted

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pound chicken between sheets of waxed paper to 1/4" thickness. Pat chicken dry.
Combine cheese, green onions and basil in small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Spread cheese mixture lengthwise over half of each chicken piece. Tuck short ends in. Roll chicken up, starting at one long side, into tight cylinders. Tie ends with string to serve.

Place chicken in an 8" square baking dish. Pour 2 tablespoons melted butter (or coconut oil) over. Bake until cooked through, about 20 minutes.
