chicken goat cheese

I love steak, but I also appreciate chicken if it is prepared with plenty of flavorful ingredients. Try this recipe, which uses goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes.

Makes 6 servings

  • 6 boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup goat cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh Italian parsley
  • ½ cup finely chopped sundried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 cloves minced garlic
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation

  1. Combine goat cheese, herbs, salt, and pepper.
  2. Make slit down the side of each chicken breast creating a pocket. Spoon a layer of goat cheese mixture inside each chicken breast. Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Using sauté pan on med/high heat, layer bottom with olive oil and place chicken breasts facing up in pan until browned. Turn over and brown other side and heat until fully cooked.
  4. Remove chicken breasts.  Add minced garlic, sundried tomatoes, and heavy cream to the pan.  Add salt and pepper and scrape all bits off the bottom of the pan.
  5. Bring to a boil then simmer for 5 minutes.  Spoon sauce over chicken (you may slice to increase portions)

  • Fab-u-lous!! Such a great spin on "chicken". Trying to be healthy lately my fiance and I have ate salmon chicken etc. But chicken can get so plain. Not with this recipe, ate it last night and LOVED it- both he and I! Definitely a go to for now on and SO easy!

  • I like how the person above me wrote "chicken." Like it's pretend chicken or something. lol It made me even double check the ingredient list.

  • okay, so it's just me cooking tonight. I usually only cook for me & my boyfriend. I made this with 1 chicken breast. cut a slit down the side, but i also secured it with a few toothpicks.  I use 2 TB goat cheese, didn't have italian herbs..substitued for oregano, basil..., everything is looking good so far, sauce is just simmering... will repost in 10!
