Herbed Goat Cheese Chicken

Y’all. This is divine.

Seriously…we all polished our plates. And I had to hide the extra piece I made so we could have it for lunch. Except Steve found it and took it for his lunch…knowing full well I wanted some for leftovers too. I teased him about it…and decided that this might become a weekly ‘chicken and rice’ meal for us. This one is definite a ‘budget gourmet’ chicken and rice dish.

Took me about 9 minutes to get this into the oven. (Watch the cooking demo here.) Even with a baby sitting on my lap part of the time.

Kids loved this one. Husband loved this one. I loved this one.

Keeper.

And in the video I kept calling it Herbed Goat Chicken…which would really make for an awkward dinner. Sorry about that. I blame all the little people running around my kitchen. Just keepin’ it real y’all.

Also, note…I’m labeling this as dairy free as it has no cow’s milk. We have a few family members who cannot tolerate cow’s milk but do fine with goat cheese. FTW!
