Roast Chicken Breasts With Herbed Cheese image

As the chicken cooks, the cream cheese just under the skin melts - making the skin beautifully browned and crisp - and forms a sauce over the vegetables. A great dish for dinner parties including, of course, intimate dinners for two. Adapted from a recipe in English chef Lulu Grimes' 'Food, Cook Eat: buy it fresh, cook it simply, eat it now'.

You could hear the lunch bell ring from all the way over at the barn. Dong! Dong! Dong! "It's time for lunch!" Jerry shouted. He jumped down off the tractor and headed for the old pickup truck. "Whata we having?" yelled Bubba. Dennis smiled, "We having that lip smacking good chicken with that sauce!" Everyone piled into the back of the truck and made their way to the table, it was piled high with tasty chicken, sauce in a gravy ladle and some nice red tomatoes. Hurry up and pass that down here...Granddad boldly nodded. Feel free to add the sauce to potatoes or vegetables as suggested by Jen T who must be a genius! Thanks, Jen! But most of all *enjoy* and gather around the table and rest a spell.
