Balsamic Cherry Chicken With Goats Cheese

Ingredients

• 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 100 g chevre cheese or other firm goat cheese
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons dried cherries, minced
• 3 tablespoons cherry jam (no pieces if you can find it)
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Directions

1. 1

   Crumble the goats cheese and mix with cherries and egg.

2. 2

   Separate out the cheese mixture into two lumps. Shape into fat logs and wrap in cling film (saran wrap). Freeze for 20 minutes to firm up.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, mix the jam and balsamic vinegar together and set aside.

4. 4

   When the cheese logs are nearly ready, cut a slit in the side of each piece of chicken. Try to make a pocket and not allow the knife to go out the other side. Unwrap the cheese logs and insert each one into one of the pieces of chicken.

5. 5

   Place the pieces of chicken into a greased baking dish with the open seam poining up. Brush the sides of the chicken with the jam-vinegar mixture.

6. 6

   Bake at 200C for 20-30 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.
