Best 5 Lemon Goat Cheese Chicken Recipes

CHICKEN, BASIL, PROSCIUTTO AND GOAT CHEESE ROULADE WITH A LEMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place the chicken between plastic sheets or preferably Silpats and pound with a heavy skillet to 1/4 inch thickness. I like to do this with a large value pack and freeze the extras, individually, after sealing with the FoodSaver . This way I have this done for the next few times I want this recipe or a Chicken Cordon Blue. Place the chicken breasts on a sheet pan laid out flat. Have toothpicks ready on the pan to hold them shut.
• On a separate plate, lay out the 4 pieces of prosciutto, basil leaves and with a small ice cream scoop dish out 4-1 oz scoops of goat cheese. First place the prosciutto on each breast, then put the goat cheese on the prosciutto (spread out some with the scooper) then put the basil leaves on the cheese and press down to spread out evenly. Roll the chicken breasts up and put a tooth pick in to hold.
• In a heavy sauce pan, melt 2 tbs butter. Add the garlic and cook until soft. Add the white wine and 1-1/4 cup chicken broth. Bring to a boil and reduce until half.
• While the sauce is reducing, heat on medium high 1 tbs olive oil and 1 tbs butter in an oven proof skillet. Add the chicken rolls. Braise the chicken on all sides, then add 1/2 cup chicken broth to the pan and place in the oven. The extra broth helps to keep the chicken moist while it is cooking through in the oven.
• Once the chicken is cooked though, remove from the oven and place on a plate and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Pour the contents of the skillet into the sauce and sauce and stir. Add the creme fraiche and the the tarragon and lemon and stir.
• Place a small ladle full of sauce on a plate and put the chicken roll in it.
• Serve with a rice dish (rice pilaf) and steamed vegetables.

GREEN HERBED LEMON CHICKEN BURGERS WITH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the onions until softened, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool. Wipe out the skillet and reserve.
• Combine the chicken, basil, parsley, oregano, ricotta, garlic, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the cooled onions in a large bowl. Mix well with your hands. Splash your hands with some cold water and mold the chicken mixture into 4 patties.
• Combine the mayonnaise and lemon juice in a small bowl.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the reserved skillet and cook the patties until they're cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes on each side (see Cook's Note).
• Meanwhile, toast the buns in a toaster or on a dry pan and set aside.
• Spread the lemon mayo on each side of the buns. Place the bottom of the bun on a plate, top with the arugula, tomato, one patty, goat cheese and finally the top of the bun. Repeat with the remaining patties.

LEMON GARLIC CHICKEN WITH GOAT CHEESE AND ZUCCHINI NOODLES RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• LEMON GARLIC CHICKEN: Divide the goat cheese into 6 equal portions. Using your fingers, loosen the skin from one side of the chicken thigh to form a pocket for the goat cheese. Try to keep the skin connected to the thigh on the other sides as much as possible, but don't fret about it if it comes loose. Place a portion of goat cheese under the skin of each thigh, then press down gently on top of the skin to distribute the goat cheese over the thigh. Season the chicken liberally with salt and pepper. Over medium heat on stovetop, heat olive oil in the tagine (or a Dutch oven). Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Do not allow garlic to brown. Add wine, lemon zest, lemon juice, herbs, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Place the chicken thighs skin-side-up over the sauce in the tagine. Brush the thighs with the sauce. Tuck the lemon wedges in the tagine among the chicken pieces. Simmer for 30-40 minutes until the chicken thighs are tender and cooked through; occasionally brush the thighs with more sauce. Spoon off the excess fat and oil from the tagine and reserve for cooking vegetables. (If making zucchini noodles, just toss a couple tablespoons of the fat with the zucchini and saute until tender, but not falling apart.) Start the broiler and place the bottom part of the tagine with the chicken a few inches below the flames or broiler element. Broil until the tops of the thighs are crispy and well-browned. Allow the chicken to rest a few minutes so you don't burn yourself. Serve hot with pan juices...Enjoy! ZUCCHINI NOODLES: I skimmed off the excess fat from the cooked chicken and used it to quickly saute the zucchini. The fat from the chicken was already infused with garlic, lemon, and herbs, so no additional seasoning was necessary except a sprinkle of salt and pepper. The texture of the noodles was just like spaghetti - you could even twirl it on your fork.
