This amazing chicken with goat cheese sauce recipe is so good I just had to share it with you.
A couple of years ago we were visiting my parents and my mom made this wonderful gluten free pasta with goat cheese sauce. A few weeks later Michaela was cooking dinner and created this delicious chicken with goat cheese sauce.
The chicken breasts, drizzled with olive oil and seasoned with Italian seasoning, are baked then topped with creamy goat cheese sauce and sautéed lemon slices. Add some roasted veggies and you’ve got a balanced meal that’s ready in 40 minutes with very little effort.
