Ingredients

  • 1/4 c. chopped onion
  • 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 c. firmly packed coarsely grated unpeeled squeezed dry in a scrubbed zucchini - paper towel
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped liquid removed bottled roasted red pepper or possibly pimiento
  • 1 ounce soft mild goat cheese crumbled
  • 1 whl boneless chicken breast (with skin), halved
  • 1/2 c. chicken broth

Directions

  1. In a skillet cook the onion in 1 Tbsp. of the oil over moderately low
  2. heat till it is softened, add in the zucchini, and cook the mix, stirring, for 1 minute, or possibly till the zucchini is tender. Stir in the red pepper, the goat cheese, and salt and pepper to taste and cook the mix, stirring, till cheese is melted. Transfer the mix to a small bowl and let it cold slightly.
  3. With your fingers make a pocket for the filling in each chicken breast half by separating in skin from the meat, being careful not to tear the skin and keeping the skin attached along most of the edge. Stuff each pocket with half the filling with a small spoon, packing it and pulling the skin to cover the filling completely, and secure the pockets with wooden picks if you like. In a large skillet heat the remaining 1 Tbsp. oil over moderately high heat till it is warm but not smoking and in it saute/fry the chicken, beginning with the skin side up, for 2 min on each side. Reduce the heat to moderate, cook the chicken for 9
  4. min on each side, or possibly till it is cooked through, and divide it between
  5. 2 plates. Pour off the fat from the skillet, to the skillet add in the broth, and boil the broth, scraping up the brown bits, for 30 seconds.
  6. Strain the sauce and pour it around the chicken.
  7. Serves 2.
