Ingredients

  • 3 whole (6 split) chicken breasts, bone-in, skin-on
  • 12 ounces Montrachet goat cheese, with garlic and herbs
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Good olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Loosen the skin from the meat with your fingers, leaving one side attached.. Cut 12 thick slices of the Montrachet and place 2 slices plus a large basil leaf under the skin of each chicken breast. Rub each piece with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Bake the breasts for 35 to 40 minutes, until just cooked through. Serve hot or at room temperature.

    Wonderful flavor with basil from the garden

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    My family really loves this chicken...even my two young daughters. Easy to make and perfect with rice pilaf and grilled... summer squash. Thanks again Ina for another terrific "busy mom - friendly" recipe.Read more

    Great quick dinner

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    We love this recipe. A great quick dinner. The goat cheese adds a nice tart flavor and the chicken turns out very moist. ... Very satisfying. Read more

    Easy and Delicious

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This recipe was simple to make and had so much flavor. I am a big fan of goat cheese, so I added extra. I stuffed the... chicken with as much cheese as I could. I will definitely make this chicken again. I couldn't find boneless breasts, so I used bone-in. I am sure that it would taste great either way.Read more

    Simple perfection

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This has to be the easiest chicken dish on earth, and it's awfully good. I disagree with the posters who want boneless... breasts -- the bone helps keep the meat from drying out, making this dish foolproof. This is my go-to dish whenever I need to cook in a kitchen with limited equipment -- you don't even need a good knife to pull it off.Read more

    Easy-peasy!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Ina takes what would be an ordinary weeknight meal -- baked chicken breasts -- and turns it into something more special. I... use bone-in breasts and the meat is so juicy. Put a sheet pan of asparagus drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with salt and pepper in the oven about 10 minutes before the chicken comes out, and you've got a great dinner.Read more

    One of our favorite BFC staple recipes

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    What turned into, let's try this immediately has become a bi-weekly requirement for a week night dinner. It's fast, easy and... consistently delicious. We make four chicken breasts so we have leftovers for lunch. I like to have my husband help me with this so I minimize contamination. His role is handing me the basil and goat cheese and pours the olive oil in my hand to rub on the chicken. I buy the breast bulk with bone in and debone myself. (Can't find with skin on bone removed, but no big deal.) Go BFC!Read more
