Ingredients

3 boneless chicken breasts, skin-on

4 to 5 ounces garlic-and-herb goat cheese (recommended: Montrachet

3 sun-dried tomatoes, julienned

Good olive oil

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Place the chicken breasts on a sheet pan. Loosen the skin from the meat with your fingers, leaving 1 side attached. Cut the goat cheese into 1/2-inch-thick slices and place 1 or 2 slices plus 1/3 of the julienned sun-dried tomatoes under the skin of each chicken breast. Pull the skin over as much of the meat as possible so the chicken won't dry out. With your fingers, rub each piece with olive oil, and sprinkle them very generously with salt and pepper. Bake the chicken for 35 to 40 minutes, until the skin is lightly browned and the chicken is just cooked through. Serve hot or at room temperature.

This is an excellent, versatile recipe. I always use bone-in chicken breast. Like many said, you can easily substitute fresh mozzarella for goat cheese or do some of each - like I do for my family’s tastes. Add the basil leaf or 3 under the skin as well. I serve with pasta tossed in garlic olive oil and a salad or cooked vegetable. Perfect for a weeknight or entertaining. <br />
