Ingredients

  • 1 (4 oz) log goat cheese softened to room temperature
  • ½ large Granny Smith Apple
  • 1 pound boneless skiness chicken breasts seasoned with salt (2 breasts)
  • 20 whole saltine crackers
  • 2 teaspoons garlic salt
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Peel and dice 1/2 of a granny smith apple and mix together with goat cheese. Set aside.
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt, cover with saran wrap and pound to 1/4 inch thick. I typically use the bottom of a pan.
  • Using a food processor, blend together saltines and garlic salt and pour into a shallow dish.
  • Dip each chicken breast into whisked egg and then into saltine mixture.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot cook chicken until exterior is golden brown and crispy. This should only take a couple minutes on each side.
  • Transfer chicken to a baking sheet that's been lined with a silpat mat or foil and top with goat cheese mixture.
  • Cook in the oven until the chicken is cooked all the way through. Cooking time varies on thickness of pounded chicken breasts, but check after 10 minutes. It could take up to 20.
  • Take 5 seconds to rate this recipe below. We greatly appreciate it!

Notes

How do you know if the chicken in done? I always cut into the thickest part of the chicken breast to see if there's any pink. No pink? It's done!
