List of Ingredients



• 8 chicken thighs, washed, trimmed and dried (skin on)
  
• 2 tbs butter

• 4 shallots chopped
  
• 4 tbs pinenuts
  
• 2/3 cup swiss cheese grated

2. Remove from heat. Add basil and pinenuts. Allow to cool slightly.
   
3. Add cheese and pepper to taste. Lift skin on thigh and fill with cheese mixture. Secure with toothpicks to prevent filling leaking.
