In a large bowl, pour the dressing over the chicken breasts, mix to coat, and let stand for 30 minutes. This step is optional. You can omit using the dressing if you'd like.
In a medium bowl, mix together the goat cheese, mayo, dill, and Mrs. Dash seasoning until well combined.
Place each chicken breast flat on a cutting board and make cross cuts like if you were to slice chicken into short strips but without fully cutting all the way to the cutting board, leaving about 1/4 inch of chicken at the bottom intact. Repeat those cuts every 3/4 inch thus turning the chicken breast into an "accordion". See video for more details.
Transfer the chicken breasts to a small sheet pan or roasting pan and season with salt and pepper if desired.
Stuff each slit in the chicken with goat cheese mixture.
Sprinkle grated cheese over the chicken breasts.
Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken breasts reaches 165F.

Notes
I like using pre made dressing to marinade chicken as it's quick and convenient but you can use your own handmade dressing or even omit it altogether.I used different kinds of grated cheese on top like mozzarella, edam, cheddar - all are good so choose whatever you have in the fridge.
