Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ cup Minced onion
2 tablespoons Olive oil
2 teaspoons Minced garlic
¼ cup Finely chopped toasted
Walnuts
½ cup Chopped drained sun dried
Tomatoes
1 cup Crumbled goat cheese
2 teaspoons Minced fresh thyme
2 teaspoons Fresh basil, chiffonade
2 Whole boneless chicken
Breasts with skin, halved

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a skillet, cook the onion in 1 tablespoon of oil over moderate heat, until softened. Add garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute.

Transfer mixture to a bowl and let cool. Stir in walnuts, tomatoes, goat cheese, herbs, and salt and pepper to taste, stirring until combined.

With your fingers make a pocket for the filling in each chicken breast half by separating the skin from the meat, being careful not to tear the skin and keeping the skin attached along most of the edge. Stuff each pocket with one fourth of the filling with a small spoon, packing it and pulling the skin to cover the filling completely.

In the cleaned skillet heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and brown chicken, skin sides down. Leaving chicken skins down, transfer skillet to oven and bake until just cooked through, about 12 minutes.

Yield: 4 servings
