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.

Easy and Wonderful
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is great with boneless/skinless breasts as well. I just cut down the cooking time 5 minutes and cut a nice little... "pouch" in them. Wow, this was fantastic. The cheese adds such a nice punch!Read more

So good and so easy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This chicken recipe is absolutely delicious! I followed the instructions precisely, but added a leaf of basil under each... breast's skin, like she did on the show. The chicken turned out beautifully. Full of flavor - the tomatoes really balance out the goat cheese well. Will definitely make again!Read more

Our daughter was home from college for the holidays and she prepared this dish for us. She also prepared some roasted root... veggies. I can't tell you how impressed I was with this meal, the chicken was moist and delicious, the veggies were so tasty too. I've logged on to download the recipe, it's a winner!Read more

"It's Always a Hit"
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've done this three times. A co-op holiday party in NYC, for my adult children and for my amateur cook friends in Atlanta. ... It gets rave reviews all around. The complex flavors blemd so well together and it's such an easy elegant dish. For the cocktail party the larger breasts work well since they can be pre-sliced after cooking and placed on a serving platter. IRead more

Another simple and easy hit
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is what I love most about Ina. She takes the good quality basic ingredients and makes them absolutely delicious. I... made this tonight and it was wonderful. Who would have thought that the goat cheese would add so much to making a moist and tasty chicken breast? I, too, used bone-in breasts as that was all I could get and it was perfect. Thanks again, Ina! Read more
