This simple preparation is great to jazz up your chicken breasts- use whatever herbs you like!
Ingredients
  • 4 small chicken breasts or 2 large cut in half, cut slit into each chicken breast (like a pocket)
  • 2 ounces goat cheese
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh herbs (I used 1 tablespoons fresh chopped sage and ½ tablespoon rosemary and ½ tablespoon thyme)
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375. In a small bowl combine goat cheese, lemon juice, herbs and garlic. Cut a 2 inch slit into chicken breasts. Divide cheese mixture evenly amongst chicken pieces.
  2. Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large cast iron skillet (or other oven proof skillet), heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes, flip the chicken over. Finish cooking chicken in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until done.
  3. Remove cast iron skillet from oven, let sit for 5-10 minutes. Serve with potatoes and salad.
Notes
Basil, parsley and chives would also be great options for herbs.
