Goat Cheese Stuffed Chicken with Caramelized Onions

A delicious savory dish that elevates chicken breasts with creamy goat cheese and caramelized onions.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 6 oz Goat cheese, softened
  • 2 Large onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp Dried thyme or fresh thyme
  • 1/2 cup Chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and thyme.
  4. Slice a pocket into each chicken breast and fill it with goat cheese and caramelized onions.

  7. Cover with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through.
  8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes for a golden finish.
  9. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature goat cheese for easier stuffing. Ensure onions are thinly sliced for even caramelization.
