Ingredients:
2 teaspoons butter |
2 tablespoons chopped shallots |
3/4 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried |
3 ounces soft fresh goat cheese (such as montrachet) |
1/2 teaspoon crushed black peppercorns |
2 large chicken breast halves with skin and bones |
Directions:
1. 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. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
2. Preheat oven to 425°F. Arrange chicken on baking sheet. Bake until cooked through, about 25 minutes.
