Chicken Breasts with Goat Cheese and Fire-Roasted Tomatoes
- 4 (4-ounce) trimmed boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Sea salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil spray
- 1/2 cup canned, drained, diced fire-roasted tomatoes or fire-roasted tomatoes with garlic
- 2 ounces (about 1/2 cup) goat cheese crumbles
- 2 tablespoons finely slivered fresh basil leaves, or more to taste (optional)
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Place a medium ovenproof nonstick skillet over high heat.
- When its hot, lightly mist the skillet with spray and immediately add the chicken side by side to the pan so it does not touch.
- Cook the chicken just until it is golden brown on the outsides, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
- Remove the pan from the heat and top each piece of chicken evenly with about 2 tablespoons of the tomatoes, followed by about 1/2 ounce of the cheese.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the chicken until it is no longer pink inside and the cheese is melted, 5 to 9 minutes.
- Top evenly with the basil, if desired.
- Serve immediately.
