Using our Bruschetta Dipping Oil Blend as a jump start, this dish comes together in about 5 minutes. After getting it into the crockpot I spent the rest of the day in the garden and came in to a delicious, healthy meal with minimum fuss.

1 package Healthy Gourmet Kitchen Bruschetta Dipping Oil Blend

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

4 oz goat cheese

Handful of spinach, kale, basil or chard, washed

1 - 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts preferably from free running chickens

Directions

Mix Bruschetta dipping oil blend with oil and set aside.

Cut goat cheese into 4 pieces

Cut each breast in half to make 4 thin chicken cutlets or alternatively you can pound them thin then cut in half.

Divide spinach between 4 breasts. Top with 1 piece of cheese. Top with 1 tsp Bruschetta dipping oil. Roll each breast and place in slow cooker.

Cook on low for 3 - 4 hours or on high 2 hours.

Enjoy!
