Chicken, Spinach, Goat Cheese and Tomato Casserole

Sharing is caring!

Don’t you love Monday night meals that seem bit fancy? This no-fuss dish was pulled together in just 15 minutes of preparation time last night. The chicken is stuffed with spinach and goat cheese and topped with a slice of tomato and a bit of pesto and Parmesan. It is an Italian inspired dish that isn’t heavy at all.

This would be a great meal to prepare for a dinner party. It only requires the most basic cooking stills and a little bit of time, but guests would think you spent hours in the kitchen.

Want to switch things up a little? Use ricotta instead of goat cheese, or kale instead of spinach.
