I made this chicken recipe tonight and it was delicious! That's roasted butternut squash on the side. I have three more pieces of chicken in the refrigerator and I've invited one of my work buddies to have lunch with me - after our workout of course.

- 3 whole (6 split) chicken breasts, bone-in, skin-on
- 12 ounces goat cheese, with garlic and herbs
- Fresh basil leaves
- Good olive oil
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet.
- Loosen the skin from the meat with your fingers, leaving one side attached.
- Cut 12 thick slices of the goat cheese and place 2 slices plus a large basil leaf under the skin of each chicken breast.
- Rub each piece with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
- Bake the breasts for 35 to 40 minutes, until just cooked through.
- Serve hot or at room temperature.
My grocery store carries chicken breasts, with bones and skin, two to a pack, so I made this recipe with 4 breasts. The goat cheese came in 4 oz. packages, so I bought two of them and used one and a half packages, which I found to be just the right amount of cheese.
Speaking of cheese, re: cottage cheese -I know we have to eat meat with it, but is it like a vegetable (equal or less parts with meat) or like a condiment (like other cheeses) or is it like a yogurt (only twice a week and then with meat)? I knew this at one time, but now that I'm second guessing it --- I'm confused. Please help. Thanks!!!

DeleteI saw this question on the Facebook support group and the analogy of stryofoam was brought up...."you have to pack everything (that isn't protein) in lots of stryofoam" -- cottage cheese is not considered protein - you must have it with protein.
DeleteCan we have goat milk like we would regular milk?
ReplyDeleteI'm not one for goat milk, so I'm not sure. I suggest calling the office.
