Use an oven-safe skillet and this is a one-pot meal. Goat Cheese, chicken and tomatoes are baked together with olive oil and seasonings and serve over pasta.
If you have TikTok then you've seen the Baked Feta viral Trend. This video went so crazy that stores are running out of feta. I'm not very big on feta so I decided to use goat cheese and I'm not sorry.

Goat Cheese Chicken Recipe Steps
Like most of my one pot chicken recipes, this one starts with browning your chicken in a pan (after it's seasoned).
After the chicken is browned (no need for it to be cooked through at this point), add in all the other ingredients with the goat cheese log in the center and bake it.
35 minutes later, take a fork and smash the goat cheese into the tomatoes to make a sauce of sorts.
If you plan to serve this over pasta or polenta, get that going while the recipe is baking.
Top with fresh basil for a little extra oomph.
It doesn't look all that pretty when it's mixed up but it DOES taste good.

- 2 tablespoon olive oil, divided

- Spoon the sauce over chicken and serve. If desired, serve over pasta or polenta. Garnish with fresh torn basil or parsley.

What an easy and totally yummy recipe! Made it the other night for dinner and my husband not only couldn't put his fork down, but suggested I make chicken with goat cheese and tomatoes the next time we have dinner guests. I added some jalapeños and red pepper flakes for a tiny bit of heat. Highly recommend this one.
