Ingredients:
2 ozs Roasted Red Peppers
1 tbsp Almonds
1/2 Garlic (clove, minced)
Sea Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)
6 ozs Chicken Breast (boneless, skinless)
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (divided)
1 cup Mixed Greens
1/8 Lemon (juiced)
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a blender, add the roasted red peppers, almonds, garlic, salt, and pepper. Blend until still a bit chunky (you can choose your desired texture).
3. Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create a pocket in each chicken breast. Do not cut all the way through. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper.
4. Stuff the chicken breasts with the roasted red pepper mixture. Place the chicken onto the baking sheet and brush with half of the olive oil. Cook in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the chicken has cooked through.
5. Meanwhile, in a bowl toss together the mixed greens with the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
6. Divide the chicken breast and mixed greens evenly between plates. Enjoy!
