Goat Cheese & Sundried Tomato Stuffed Chicken

I found this recipe in a magazine, and I have made it several times.  It comes from Bethenny Frankel of Real Housewives of NYC fame.  The recipe is super easy and it doesn't require any fancy ingredients.  I've substituted chicken broth for the whipping cream and the results were quite tasty.

  • 6 boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup goat cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh Italian parsley
  • ½ cup finely chopped sundried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 cloves minced garlic
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
Preparation
  1. Combine goat cheese, herbs, salt, and pepper.
  2. Make slit down the side of each chicken breast creating a pocket. Spoon a layer of goat cheese mixture inside each chicken breast. Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Using sauté pan on med/high heat, layer bottom with olive oil and place chicken breasts facing up in pan until browned. Turn over and brown other side and heat until fully cooked.
  4. Remove chicken breasts.  Add minced garlic, sundried tomatoes, and heavy cream to the pan.  Add salt and pepper and scrape all bits off the bottom of the pan.
  5. Bring to a boil then simmer for 5 minutes.  Spoon sauce over chicken (you may slice to increase portions)
