DIRECTIONS FOR GOAT CHEESE STUFFED POMEGRANATE CHICKEN
Preheat your oven to 350℉.
Cut a pocket into the center of each chicken breast, using a sharp knife, making sure to not cut all the way through the breast. Stuff each pocket with 1 oz of goat cheese, secure closed with a toothpick, and sprinkle each breast with a pinch of Garlic Medley Sea Salt.
In an ovenproof skillet, heat 1 Tbsp of Herbes de Provence Olive Oil over medium heat. Brown each chicken breast on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Once browned, transfer the chicken to a plate, and set aside.
Add the shallots into the same pan, and saute until soft, about 2 minutes. Deglaze with chicken stock, scraping up any bits on the bottom of the pan.
Add in the Pomegranate Balsamic Vinegar, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until the sauce just begins to reduce and thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
Add chicken breasts back into pan and spoon sauce over the tops and place in the oven.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through. To serve, drizzle chicken remaining sauce, and garnish with pomegranate arils.
