Grilled Chicken Breast With Black Beans And Goat Cheese Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat grill. Mix together the goat cheese, olives, red pepper and thyme in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Lay each breast out and fill with the cheese mixture. Brush the breasts with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste, secure with toothpicks. Grill for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
• In a blender, combine the poblanos, onion and lime juice and blend until smooth. While the blender is running, add the oil slowly until emulsified. Add the spinach and cilantro and blend until smooth. Add the honey and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Make beans:
• Heat olive oil in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion and chilies; cook until onion is translucent, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Add chili powder and cumin; stir 30 seconds. Add beans and lime juice. Cook until heat through, stirring and mashing beans slightly with spoon, about 4 minutes. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
• Make chicken:
• Heat oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Add chicken and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir until almost cooked through, about 3 minutes. Add chili powder and cumin and stir until cooked through, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
• Make Salad:
• Combine first 3 ingredients in large bowl.
• Add oil to depth of 1/4 inch to heavy medium skillet. Heat over medium-high heat until just beginning to smoke. Add tortilla and cook until crisp, abut 30 seconds per side. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
• Add 1/4 cup olive oil to salad; toss Season with salt and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon lime juice; toss. Rewarm beans over medium-low heat, stirring and thinning slightly with water. Place 1 tortilla on each plate. Spread with beans. Sprinkle with cheese. Top with salad, then chicken, salsa and cilantro.

Steps:

• 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 Montrachet 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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir shallot until translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour balsamic vinegar into skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until balsamic vinegar mixture is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Stir often.
• Cut chicken breasts from one side through the middle horizontally to within one-half inch of the other side. Open the two sides and spread them out like an open book.
• Spread half the goat cheese onto one half of each chicken breast and drizzle 1/3 of the reduced balsamic vinegar mixture over the goat cheese. Close the chicken breasts over the goat cheese and secure with toothpicks. Arrange chicken into a baking dish. Drizzle with remaining 1/3 of the balsamic reduction.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink inside, the filling is hot, and the juices run clear, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of a filled breast should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Steps:

• Put chicken breasts in water in covered pot, bring to boil and simmer about 20 minutes, until done. Remove from broth and set aside. Reserve broth.
• Slice carrots, tomatoes and onion in a food processor with steel blade.
• Mince garlic in processor to make 1 tablespoon.
• Add the carrots, tomatoes, onion, garlic, bacon and beans to 4 cups of the reserved broth; bring to boil. Reserve remaining broth for another occasion. Reduce heat and simmer, covered for 20 minutes, to blend flavors.
• Meanwhile remove chicken from bones.
• When soup is ready, add oregano leaves, pepper and chicken and cook just long enough to heat chicken.
• Spoon stew into bowls; garnish with hot chili flakes and cheese.

Steps:

• Melt 1 teaspoon butter in heavy small skillet over medium-low heat. Add shallots and rosemary and sauté until shallots are tender, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix in goat cheese and pepper. Season to taste with salt. Using fingertips, loosen skin of chicken breasts, leaving skin attached on 1 long side. Spread half of cheese filling over meat and under skin of each breast. Pull skin over filling and secure with toothpick. Rub remaining 1 teaspoon butter over skin, dividing equally. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Arrange chicken on baking sheet. Bake until cooked through, about 25 minutes.
