GOAT CHEESE AND HERB STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS



Goat Cheese and Herb Stuffed Chicken Breasts image

Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 skin-on boneless chicken breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg white
8 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon finely minced shallots
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Zest of 2 lemons
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, smashed
2 sprigs fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Using a paring knife, make an incision in the side of each chicken breast, passing the knife though horizontally to make a slit but not cutting through the other side of the breast. With the paring knife inserted, rotate the knife to carve out a bit more space and create a pocket. Season the outside and inside of the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Lightly beat the egg white in a bowl to break it up, then add the goat cheese, parsley, tarragon, shallots, mustard and lemon zest and mix until incorporated. Transfer the mixture to a resealable plastic bag (or piping bag). Snip off a corner of the plastic bag and pipe the mixture into each chicken breast until filled.
  • Heat the oil in a large ovenproof saute pan over medium-high heat until hot and glistening. Add the chicken breasts skin-side down and cook until the skin turns a dark golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the butter, garlic and thyme, then flip and transfer the pan to the oven; cook the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Categories     Chicken

Time 36m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup butter
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon lemon juice
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 pinches pepper

Steps:

  • Garlic Butter:.
  • Mash butter, garlic, pepper and lemon juice together in small bowl. Butter should be of uniform texture and slightly coarse. Don not over mix to completely smooth texture or it will take too long to firm up.
  • Place softened butter on a piece of plastic wrap and form into log, using plastic to form casing. Place butter in freezer to firm up until just before serving the meal. Butter will firm up faster if you place it directly on the freezer shelf.
  • At last minute, remove plastic wrap and slice log into 8 pieces.
  • Chicken:.
  • Coat chicken with olive oil, salt and pepper in bowl.
  • Grill, broil or pan-grill chicken 4 to 6 minutes on each side.
  • Top with 1 to 2 slices of garlic butter. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken breasts: Look for chicken breasts that are about the same size and thickness. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Butterfly the chicken breasts: This will create a pocket for the herb butter stuffing. To butterfly a chicken breast, cut it in half lengthwise, but not all the way through. Open the chicken breast up like a book.
  • Make the herb butter: The herb butter is what gives this dish its flavor. Be generous with the herbs and butter.
  • Stuff the chicken breasts: Place a spoonful of herb butter in the pocket of each chicken breast. You can also add other fillings, such as cheese, vegetables, or nuts.
  • Grill the chicken breasts: Grill the chicken breasts over medium heat until they are cooked through. This will take about 10-12 minutes per side.
  • Let the chicken breasts rest: Before serving, let the chicken breasts rest for a few minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

These grilled chicken breasts stuffed with herb butter are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The herb butter adds a ton of flavor to the chicken, and the chicken breasts are cooked to perfection. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a salad.
