Stuffed Chicken with Marinated Tomatoes
I invented this roast chicken to prove that goat cheese really is delish. I served it to my skeptical family without telling them, and they gobbled it up. But any soft cheese will do. —Gilda Lester, Millsboro, DE
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
- 3/4 cup Italian salad dressing, divided
- 1 log (4 ounces) fresh goat cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh basil
Directions

1Cut a pocket horizontally in the thickest part of each chicken breast; place chicken in a bowl. Toss with 1/4 cup dressing; refrigerate, covered, 30 minutes.

2Preheat oven to 425°. Crumble goat cheese; reserve 1/2 cup cheese for serving. Divide remaining cheese among chicken pockets; secure with toothpicks. Place in a greased 15x10x1-in. pan; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
