Description
Tender, juicy chicken breasts stuffed with creamy goat cheese and topped with sweet, caramelized onions – a delicious 30-minute meal.
Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 4 ounces goat cheese, softened
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 2 large onions, thinly sliced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
– 1 tablespoon brown sugar
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh thyme for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket. Stuff each pocket with 1 ounce of the goat cheese.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until caramelized.
4. Add the minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, and brown sugar. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the onions are very soft and sweet.
5. Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish. Top each with a portion of the caramelized onions.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
7. Garnish with fresh thyme before serving.
Notes
For a creamier texture, you can also mix the goat cheese with a bit of cream cheese or ricotta before stuffing. Serve with roasted potatoes or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
