Preparation
1
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2
Place the chicken breasts on a sheet pan. Loosen the skin from the meat with your fingers, leaving one side attached.
3
Cut the goat cheese into 1/2-inch-thick slices and place 1 or 2 slices plus a large basil leaf under the skin of each chicken breast.
4
Pull the skin over as much of the meat as possible so the chicken won’t dry out.
5
With your fingers, rub each piece with olive oil, and sprinkle them very generously with salt and pepper.
6
Bake the chicken for 35 to 40 minutes, until the skin is lightly browned and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
