Easy Baked Chicken with Goat Cheese Belly Fat Cure BFC 1/0

This is a really easy, healthy, and a really good Belly Fat Cure BFC recipe.  It has 1 sugars and 0 carb units.  I’ve adapted this recipe from one I saw on the Food Network by the Barefoot Contessia.  Tasty receipes for chicken are hard to come by — this one is awesome!  It also appears very fancy (so great for guests) even though the prep time is about 10 minutes.

Ingredients:

  • SKIN ON chicken breasts or thighs.  I get boneless if I can find skin on, boneless.  One for each person.
  • goat cheese, about 2 ounces per piece of chicken.  You can get plain, herb, or garlic and herb. 
  • two sun dried tomatoes per piece of chicken.  I like the ones in oil and herbs.  Tomatoes have some natural sugar so I rated this a BFC 1/0.
  • olive oil
  • salt and pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 F.

Place the chicken breasts on a sheet or pan.  I use a 9×13 glass pan.  Loosen the skin from the meat of the chicken with your fingers, leaving 1 side still attached.  With the skin pulled back, salt and pepper the meat. 

Cut the goat cheese and put 1-2 slices (about 2 ounces) on each piece of chicken.  Place 2 sundried tomatoes on top of the cheese on each piece of chicken. 

Pull the skin back over as much of the meat as possible so the chicken won’t dry out.  They spray or rub each piece of chicken with the olive oil.  Salt and pepper again (on outside of skin this time).  I use an oil spritzer.

Bake chicken for 35 to 40 minutes until skin is lightly browned and the chicken is just cooked through.  Serve hot or at room temperature with other Belly Fat Cure approved sides — you have lots of options since the main dish is sooooo Belly Fat good!

Variations:

  • try different cheeses
  • add different herbs to the goat cheese
