Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
  • Handful of thyme sprigs
  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 oz. goat cheese crumbled
  • 1 large lemon sliced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • In a baking dish, pour in the olive oil, then place thyme sprigs on top, making a ‘bed’ for the chicken.
  • Liberally season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place on top of thyme sprigs.
  • Sprinkle goat cheese on top of chicken, trying your best to keep the cheese on the chicken.
  • Sandwich the cheese onto the chicken using the lemon slices.
  • Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. Turn on the broiler and cook an additional 2-4 minutes to brown the lemon and goat cheese.
