Chicken and goat cheese screams comfort food to me. The goat cheese really adds the light warmth that really cant get anywhere else. Goat cheese plus anything is always a yes from me. I got this goat cheese at a farmers market I bought it knowing id have to try this dish out with it. The real key to this dish though to really blow it out of the water is brining you chicken. Brining is basically preserving something in salt water. I always add a little sugar, dried herbs, and a acid depending on the dish. Brining is awesome it takes a little trial and error but once you get the hang of it you’re golden. To me you have to have the two for this dish. Its actually really simple, quicker than it seems and absolutely delicious.
