Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Four 8- to 10-ounce boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
4 slices deli ham, each slice halved (about 3 ounces)
4 thin slices provolone (about 2 1/2 ounces)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2/3 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives or dill
1 1/4 pounds red-skinned potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Insert a paring knife into the thickest part of each chicken breast to make a 3-inch-long pocket down the side, cutting in about halfway. Rub the insides of the pockets with 1 tablespoon of the mustard for all 4 breasts. Stuff each breast with 2 half slices of ham and 1 slice of provolone, folding them to fit. Rub both sides of the chicken breasts with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes per side depending on the thickness of the chicken; reduce the heat to medium if the chicken becomes too dark towards the end of the cooking time. Cover the skillet with a lid or a piece of aluminum foil during the last 3 minutes of cooking time to finish cooking the chicken through to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. Check the temperature at the thickest part of the breast without stuffing.
  • Transfer the chicken to 4 plates or a cutting board and add the chicken broth and remaining 1 tablespoon mustard to the skillet. Cook, whisking, over medium-high heat until the sauce has reduced by about half, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and swirl in the butter and chopped herbs.
  • Depending on the size of the breasts, either put 1chicken breast on each of 4 plates or slice all the breasts and divide among 6 plates. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve with Crispy Sliced Roasted Potatoes on the side.
  • Serving suggestion: Crispy Sliced Roasted Potatoes, recipe follows.
  • Place a rimmed baking sheet in the center rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Thinly slice the potatoes about 1/8-inch thick and toss with the oil, salt and pepper. Carefully spread the slices on the hot baking sheet in a single layer and roast until golden and crispy, turning with a metal spatula occasionally and spreading them out to cook evenly, 30 to 35 minutes.

GOAT CHEESE AND HERB STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 skin-on boneless chicken breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg white
8 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon finely minced shallots
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Zest of 2 lemons
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, smashed
2 sprigs fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Using a paring knife, make an incision in the side of each chicken breast, passing the knife though horizontally to make a slit but not cutting through the other side of the breast. With the paring knife inserted, rotate the knife to carve out a bit more space and create a pocket. Season the outside and inside of the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Lightly beat the egg white in a bowl to break it up, then add the goat cheese, parsley, tarragon, shallots, mustard and lemon zest and mix until incorporated. Transfer the mixture to a resealable plastic bag (or piping bag). Snip off a corner of the plastic bag and pipe the mixture into each chicken breast until filled.
  • Heat the oil in a large ovenproof saute pan over medium-high heat until hot and glistening. Add the chicken breasts skin-side down and cook until the skin turns a dark golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the butter, garlic and thyme, then flip and transfer the pan to the oven; cook the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

1/4 cup canned low sodium chicken broth
4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Sauce:.
  • Char bell peppers over gas flame or in broiler until blackened on all sides. Wrap in paper bag and let stand 10 minutes. Peel and seed peppers. Puree peppers in processor until smooth. Transfer puree to heavy small saucepan. Add whipping cream and chicken broth. Boil until reduced to 1 cup, about 4 minutes. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.).

  • If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Just use about 1/4 of the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken breasts, or they will become dry and tough. Cook them until they are just cooked through, about 10-12 minutes per side.
  • The red pepper sauce is a great way to add a pop of flavor to the dish. You can make it as spicy or mild as you like by adjusting the amount of red pepper flakes you add.
  • Serve the chicken breasts with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
