THE RECIPE
Preparation Time : 10
Minutes
Cooking Time :
45 Minutes no-work bake time
Serving : 4 people
Ingredients
8 ounces feta, mild goat
cheese, or Boursin cheese
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 cup lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 whole bone-in chicken breasts, skin on, split in half
1/4 cup (packed) flat-leaf parsley leaves or fresh
dill (optional)
Method
Preheat the oven to
425 degrees F.
Combine the cheese,
oregano, butter, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a small
bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Loosen the chicken skin
from the flesh without completely detaching it, and stuff
as much of the cheese mixture under the skin as possible.
Spread the remaining mixture over the skin. Place in a
baking pan and bake for 30 minutes. Raise the heat to 450
degrees F. and bake until the chicken breasts are cooked
through and slightly golden on top, 15 minutes longer.
While the chicken is
baking, chop the parsley. Remove the chicken from the
oven, sprinkle it with chopped parsley and serve
immediately.
