Herbed goat cheese chicken roulades
This recipe is really simple to prepare and uses three really flavorful ingredients: goat cheese, sage, and tarragon. Goat cheese has a really nice flavor– smooth, mild, and a distinct tanginess. Mix that with the licoricey-sweet-basil-like flavors of tarragon and the sweet mentholy flavors of sage, and you’ve got a really potent combination. So let’s stick that inside a chicken. Better yet–let’s shift our focus a little–let’s wrap the chicken around the filling and make roulades.
- 1-1.5 lbs of chicken breast
- extra virgin olive oil
- about 4 oz goat cheese
- 6-8 cloves of garlic
- leaves from 3 shoots of tarragon
- 10 or so leaves of fresh sage
- a few leaves of fresh parsley
- dried oregano
- black pepper
- 1 egg
- some Italian-flavored bread cumbs
- chicken broth
- sherry cooking wine
- balsalmic vinegar
First, mince the (finely diced) garlic cloves and fry briefly in olive oil.
Then, finely dice the fresh herbs and mix them well with the goat cheese, oregano, black pepper, and garlic and set this aside. This herby cheese mixture is going to be the filling
