I struggled with what to call this dish for many reasons.
First, this is my 100th post (wahoo!) and I should have something catchy, right?
Second, it contains many of my favorite ingredients: goat cheese, sun dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, shallots, balsamic vinegar. Which one should I choose?
At the risk of being boring, I settled on "my favorite things" stuffed chicken.

2 large chicken breasts
olive oil
2-3 tablespoons shallots, chopped fine
1 teaspoon sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
2-3 tablespoons artichoke hearts, chopped fine
2-3 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, chopped fine
1/4 cup goat cheese
salt, pepper
1/2 cup chicken broth
Heat a little olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots, garlic, and sugar. Cook for about 4 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring frequently as to not burn the garlic.
Remove to a small bowl and add the balsamic vinegar, tomatoes, art hearts, cheese, salt, and pepper; stirring well.
Make a horizontal slit all the way through the chicken breast.
Wipe out the skillet and add olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken on both sides, about 6 minutes a side. Remove the chicken from the pan and cover to keep warm.
If you have any little bits of filling left in the pan, this is the perfect time to make a pan sauce. Add a little bit more vinegar and 1/2 cup of chicken broth. Scrape the pan with a wooden spoon. Top the chicken, serve, and enjoy!
I served mine on another favorite of mine...arugula.

Well, this may not be the best 100th post out there in the blog world, but I wanted to get a post out, it has almost been a week again! I have no idea what is wrong with me, but I know that the need for sleep is really outweighing my need to blog. I really enjoyed January, when I posted every day. It was tough, but refreshing and I met so many new blogger friends during that time.
Moving forward to the next 100 posts, I hope to blog a little more often. I had such a great time when I posted every day and I hope that I can get back to that. Wish me luck!
