1. Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Loosen the skin from the chicken breasts and stuff each with a slice of the goat's cheese and a sprig of thyme. Put in a shallow ovenproof dish.
2. Halve the cherry tomatoes and scatter around the chicken with a few more sprigs of thyme, a drizzle of olive oil and splash of white wine. Season with pepper, and salt if you wish.
3. Bake for 25-30 mins until the chicken is tender and golden. Serve with Saffron wild rice (recipe right).

Make it different

Other cheeses also work well with the chicken, including taleggio, ripe brie, dolcelatte or even le Roulé.

  Really yummy. Even if you don't use chicken with skin and just make a slit in the side of the chicken and stuff it with the goats cheese and herbs.

  This is one of my family's favourite recipes! I use an herbed chevre instead of the firm goat cheese; and vermouth if I don't have white wine. It's so easy and soooo good!
