Goat Cheese, Bacon and Raisins Stuffed Chicken Breasts – Elegant yet super easy recipe for chicken breasts stuffed with a delicious mixture of goat cheese, bacon, raisins and nuts.

Hey hey, my pretty friends! Happy Wednesday!

One of life’s greatest pleasures is to sit here and share my dinner with you. ‘Cept I’m not really sharing said food, but you know what I mean. I eat it and then tell you how to make it. That’s my super awesome business plan. So far we’re winning!

Thanks to California Raisins and KitchenPlay for sponsoring this post! All opinions are 100% my own.

I also want to tell you that I put raisins in ALL THE THINGS. Quinoa? Raisins. Chutney? Raisins. Cake? Raisins. You get it.

For now, while we have this simple and freezing December day, let’s enjoy this lovely chicken stuffed with goat cheese, bacon AND raisins!
Trust me on this one. It’s good. SO, SO GOOD.

I’m also pretty much down with the fact that food stuffed into other food is beyond amazing. I don’t care how ’80s that sounds; stuffed food is still awesome!

STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

This deliciousness is kind of like a surprise. The stuffing looks beautiful, but you’re not sure what it is. Then, once you bite into it? SURPRISE! Creamy, crunchy, sweet and salty. Taste and texture don’t fail to impress.

The California Raisins give it that sweet, chunky bite and they are all-natural. As in, just raisins.
Ingredients listed: Raisins. Only. You know what I mean?
Also. Zero fat, no cholesterol and no added sugar. AND! AND! They are packed with fiber and iron, so you’re practically adding health to your meal.

Somewhere in the middle of that swirl, is where delicious lives. From flavors to textures, this Stuffed Chicken Breasts recipe has everything. The inside is creamy and tender, beautifully flavored with raisins, bacon and walnuts. All you need to do now is make it and share it.
