One of my favourite flavour combinations is sweet roasted red peppers with creamy and tangy goat cheese which is simply divine in this creamy roasted red pepper and spinach goat cheese skillet chicken! This dish is so quick and easy to make that it’s perfect for weeknight dinners and yet it’s also great for entertaining, not to mention that’s it only uses one skillet! The recipe is as simple as grilling some chicken, sautéing some onions and garlic and then creating the tasty sauce with a combination of pureed roasted red peppers, goat cheese and chicken broth which is simmered until the goat cheese melts completely making the sauce oh so nice and creamy! I often like to add some vegetables and fresh spinach is my veggie of choice but lots of other ones work just as well! Serve this creamy roasted red pepper and spinach goat cheese skillet chicken over quinoa, rice, pasta, etc with a side of steamed veggies or a salad and you have one tasty dinner that is perfect for any night of the week, even a busy work night!

Really enjoying low carb meals right now while I watch my girly (ok manly figure) but if they lack flavor then I'll just eat my kids leftover halloween candy. The red peppers make this dish look really good. On thursdays, I go to my moms house to cook with the girls. Going to try this!

Looks like a quick weeknight family meal!
how delicious Kevin!
I LOVE easy weeknight meals like this…I'll be dreaming about that sauce!
Looks like the perfect meal!
So So good Kevin! Amazing dish!
The sauce was delicious but could have been thicker. Next time I think I'll but half as much broth.
i search for recipes every day. kevin's are the recipes i am most likely to download,AND USE!
Unbelievably GOOD and I can't believe how easy it was. This was my first recipe from this blog and I'll definitely be a regular! Loved the flavors.
