Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 shallots, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¾ cup soft goat cheese
3 dates, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
4 large, thin slices of prosciutto

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread 1 tablespoon of olive oil on a baking sheet, and set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the shallots, and cook until they turn translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper; cook and stir an additional 2 minutes. Transfer the shallot mixture to a bowl. Mix in the goat cheese, dates, and basil; stir until well combined.
  • With a sharp knife, cut a 1-inch long slit into the thick side of each chicken breast. Work your fingers into the slit, and expand the slit to form a pocket in the breast meat. With your fingers or a spoon, stuff each chicken breast with about 1/4 cup of the goat cheese mixture. Wipe off any cheese mixture from the outside of the chicken breast, and wrap each breast in a slice of prosciutto so that the pocket opening is covered. Place the chicken breasts, seam sides down, onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken meat is no longer pink and the prosciutto is browned and crisp, about 40 minutes. Turn the chicken breasts over after 20 minutes.

Time 1h

Yield Eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 whole boneless chicken breasts, skin left on, about 5 pounds
1 1/3 pounds soft goat cheese
3 tablespoons minced fresh oregano
3 tablespoons minced fresh thyme
1 tablespoon minced garlic
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup white wine

Steps:

  • Combine the goat cheese, herbs, garlic and pepper.
  • Place a generous tablespoon of the cheese mixture between the skin and the meat of each breast. Replace the skin over the cheese and tuck all the edges of the meat and skin under to form a neat package. Arrange the breasts in a large roasting pan.
  • Brush the chicken with the olive oil.
  • Roast for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove to a warm platter.
  • Pour off the fat from the roasting pan. Place the pan over medium-high heat. Add the wine and deglaze, scraping up bits of cheese and blending with the wine. Serve the chicken with this sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • To ensure that the chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the oven.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the chicken is cooked by piercing it with a fork. If the juices run clear, the chicken is cooked.
  • To prevent the chicken from drying out, baste it with the pan juices every 15 minutes or so.
  • If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Just use about 1/3 of the amount of dried herbs that you would use fresh.
  • If you don't have any goat cheese, you can substitute another type of soft cheese, such as feta or cream cheese.

Conclusion:

This chicken with herbed goat cheese recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the goat cheese adds a creamy, tangy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
