Recipe Introduction


Everyone needs a go-to recipe, one you can rely on in a pinch. These chicken breasts fill the bill. They're simple enough for an after-work meal, yet elegant enough for your next party. And the creamy goat cheese stuffing is versatile, adapting well to any fresh herb you have on hand.


List of Ingredients




4 oz. soft goat cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 teaspoon kosher (coarse) salt
1 tablespoon olive oil


Recipe



1. Heat oven to 375°F. In small bowl, stir together cheese, sage and pepper.

2. With small sharp knife, cut pocket in each chicken breast, cutting almost to other side but not all the way through. Fill each breast with one-fourth of the cheese mixture; secure openings with toothpicks. Sprinkle chicken with salt.

3. Heat heavy large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add oil; heat until hot. Add chicken; cook 5 minutes or until chicken is nicely browned. Turn chicken; place skillet in oven. Bake 8 to 12 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center. If desired, whisk together pan juices; pour over chicken.
