Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 boneless chicken breasts, skin-on
4 to 5 ounces garlic-and-herb goat cheese (recommended: Montrachet
3 sun-dried tomatoes, julienned
Good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place the chicken breasts on a sheet pan. Loosen the skin from the meat with your fingers, leaving 1 side attached. Cut the goat cheese into 1/2-inch-thick slices and place 1 or 2 slices plus 1/3 of the julienned sun-dried tomatoes under the skin of each chicken breast. Pull the skin over as much of the meat as possible so the chicken won't dry out. With your fingers, rub each piece with olive oil, and sprinkle them very generously with salt and pepper. Bake the chicken for 35 to 40 minutes, until the skin is lightly browned and the chicken is just cooked through. Serve hot or at room temperature.

GOAT CHEESE AND SPINACH STUFFED CHICKEN



Goat Cheese and Spinach Stuffed Chicken image

This spinach-stuffed chicken breast recipe is special to me because it has so much flavor, yet not too many calories. I love Italian food, but most of the time it is too heavy. This is a healthy twist on an Italian dish! -Nicole Stevens, Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

CHICKEN STUFFED W/ SUN-DRIED TOMATOES & GOAT CHEESE



Chicken Stuffed W/ Sun-Dried Tomatoes & Goat Cheese image

This is from another Rose Reisman book. It's very good. The recipe calls for Chicken supreme with skin on for presentation but not to be eaten, and the wing still attached. I however, just a used a boneless chicken breast without skin for cost and convenience. Still great. I also topped the breast with the leftover stuffing before I baked it for a little extra flavor.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Thigh Recipes

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 ounces goat cheese with garlic and herbs
¼ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes with herbs (such as California Sun-Dry®)
¼ cup flour
1 ½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
4 tablespoons butter, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup chopped fresh sage
½ cup chicken broth
½ cup white wine
lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Combine goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes in a small bowl; set aside. Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a second small bowl and set aside.
  • Place chicken thighs on a cutting board and layer a piece of plastic wrap on top. Pound thighs slightly with a meat mallet to flatten. Divide goat cheese mixture among all of the flattened chicken thighs; spread evenly down the middle. Starting at the short end, roll up the chicken thighs and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
  • Dredge chicken rolls in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour, and set on a plate. Repeat until all of the rolls have been coated with flour.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken thigh rolls in pan and cook until all sides are browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer rolls to an oven-safe dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Meanwhile, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet over medium heat. Once butter starts to bubble and turn brown, add chopped sage and swirl the pan until sage becomes fragrant. Pour in broth, wine, and lemon juice. Bring sauce to a simmer and reduce heat to low.
  • Transfer chicken rolls back to the skillet and cook in the sauce for about 2 minutes, turning frequently to coat. Plate rolls and spoon sauce over top.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Chicken Breasts: Select large, boneless, skinless chicken breasts of uniform size to ensure even cooking.
  • Butterfly the Chicken Breasts Properly: Use a sharp knife to make a deep incision along the side of each chicken breast, creating a pocket for the stuffing.
  • Make the Stuffing Ahead of Time: Prepare the sun-dried tomato and goat cheese stuffing in advance to save time and allow the flavors to meld.
  • Use a Toothpick to Secure the Chicken Breasts: After stuffing the chicken breasts, use toothpicks to close the openings and prevent the stuffing from spilling out during cooking.
  • Sear the Chicken Breasts Before Baking: Searing the chicken breasts in a hot skillet creates a golden-brown crust and locks in the juices, resulting in a more flavorful and moist dish.
  • Bake the Chicken Breasts at a High Temperature: Initially baking the chicken breasts at a high temperature helps to quickly brown the outside and create a crispy crust.
  • Reduce the Temperature for Even Cooking: After the initial high-temperature baking, reduce the oven temperature to ensure that the chicken breasts cook evenly throughout without drying out.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of a chicken breast to check for doneness. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) before removing from the oven.
  • Let the Chicken Breasts Rest: Allow the chicken breasts to rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Sun-dried tomato and goat cheese stuffed chicken breasts are a delightful and flavorful main course that combines the tangy sweetness of sun-dried tomatoes with the creamy richness of goat cheese. The chicken breasts are juicy and tender, while the stuffing adds a burst of flavor in every bite. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal.
