Ingredients

    1 package boneless skinless chicken (I use the Purdue Light and Fit tenders)
    1 pack goat cheese crumbles
    1 can roasted red peppers
    1 can of pesto (or make your own, which is usually healthier)

Directions

Put the chicken into a large bowl or ziplock bag with about a cup of pesto to coat it. Marinade for about an hour (you can skip this step if you're in a hurry, it won't make a huge difference).

Put the chicken into an oiled skillet over medium heat. Pour in about a cup of roasted red peppers to warm up while the chicken cooks. Fry the chicken until cooked through, then plate them and top with a sprinkling of goat cheese (I usually use a little over an ounce per piece of chicken, but it's up to you).

Salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!
