Chicken Breasts With Goat Cheese and Rosemary image

We love this simple dish. It reminds me of chicken kiev. I have also made this with skinless, boneless chicken breasts and it works well if you cut the cooking time a little. But, I think it's better with the skin to keep it moister. From Bon Appetit.

2 teaspoons butter
2 tablespoons shallots, chopped
3/4 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
3 ounces soft fresh goat cheese (such as Montrachet)

Steps:

  • Melt 1 teaspoon butter in heavy small skillet over medium-low heat. Add shallots and rosemary and sauté until shallots are tender, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix in goat cheese and pepper. Season to taste with salt. Using fingertips, loosen skin of chicken breasts, leaving skin attached on 1 long side. Spread half of cheese filling over meat and under skin of each breast. Pull skin over filling and secure with toothpick. Rub remaining 1 teaspoon butter over skin, dividing equally.
