Chicken With Goat Cheese And Sun Dried Tomato Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable spray.
• Chop the sundried tomatoes, goat cheese and basil with chef knife, or blend in food processor until slightly coarse.
• Make a horizontal slit about 2 inches long through each chicken supreme to make a pocket. Stuff each chicken evenly & secure with a toothpick if needed.
• In a grill or skillet with oil or vegetable spray, grill the chicken on both sides for about 5 minutes.
• Place on baking sheet and bake for about 25 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink inside. Please don't overcook.
• Garnish with basil.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a medium bowl, mix goat cheese, tomatoes, shallot, garlic, and the 3 to 4 leaves of basil.
• Using a small sharp knife and working with one chicken breast at a time, cut a 2-inch-long horizontal slit into the thick side of chicken breast. Move knife back and forth in slit to form a pocket. Divide cheese mixture among chicken pockets. Press edges closed and secure with a toothpick to seal. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in large ovenproof skillet over high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down; cook for 3 minutes or until skin is brown. Turn chicken over; transfer skillet to oven. Bake until cooked through (170 degrees F), about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a heavy small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Slice chicken and place on a serving plate. Drizzle lemon butter over chicken. Garnish with additional basil.

Steps:

• Place chicken in medium bowl. Add vinegar, olive oil, garlic and rosemary. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Season chicken with salt and pepper. Grill chicken and onions until chicken is just cooked through and onions are golden brown, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes. Grill cut sides of rolls until golden brown. Spread bottom halves of rolls with chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Top with chicken breast and some grilled onions and arugula. Spread top halves of rolls with 1 tablespoon goat cheese and place atop sandwiches. Serve.

Steps:

• Spread 1 ounce goat cheese over each chicken breast. Top each with 1 tablespoon of sun dried tomatoes and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon basil. Roll up jelly roll style and secure with toothpicks.
• In a large frying pan, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken; cook, turning, until lightly browned outside and white but still moist inside, 10-12 minutes. Remove and set aside.
• Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from pan. Add broth and remaining 2 tablespoons sun dried tomatoes. Boil until reduced by half.
• To serve, remove picks from chicken; cut crosswise on the diagonal into ½ inch slices. Arrange on plates and spoon about 1 tablespoon sauce over each serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes in a small bowl; set aside. Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a second small bowl and set aside.
• Place chicken thighs on a cutting board and layer a piece of plastic wrap on top. Pound thighs slightly with a meat mallet to flatten. Divide goat cheese mixture among all of the flattened chicken thighs; spread evenly down the middle. Starting at the short end, roll up the chicken thighs and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
• Dredge chicken rolls in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour, and set on a plate. Repeat until all of the rolls have been coated with flour.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken thigh rolls in pan and cook until all sides are browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer rolls to an oven-safe dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Meanwhile, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet over medium heat. Once butter starts to bubble and turn brown, add chopped sage and swirl the pan until sage becomes fragrant. Pour in broth, wine, and lemon juice. Bring sauce to a simmer and reduce heat to low.
• Transfer chicken rolls back to the skillet and cook in the sauce for about 2 minutes, turning frequently to coat. Plate rolls and spoon sauce over top.
