Each breast is stuffed with TWO layers of goat cheese, some of which magically melts into the chicken keeping it unbelievably juicy. The first cheesy infusion is nestled in the center of the chicken breast, and the second goes right underneath the skin, which gets beautifully browned and crisped in the oven. The goat cheese itself is seasoned with an unbeatable combination of garlic, fresh basil and little bit of lemon, giving each tender bite of chicken a tangy, herby goodness.
