1 - 6 oz package of goat cheese (better if you can get the goat cheese with basil or other flavoring)
1 package 6 chicken thighs
1 egg
1/2 cup bread crumbs

Flatten chicken thighs with kitchen mallet
Cut cheese into equal pieces, one per thigh
Wrap each piece of chicken around one piece of cheese
Secure with a toothpick
Dip in egg
Roll in bread crumbs to coat
Repeat for all chicken pieces and bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes until chicken is white through

Mushroom sauce

6 oz various mushrooms ( crimini, shiitake, portabella, etc )
1/2 stick ( 4 oz) butter
1/4 cup white wine
3/4 cup chicken broth

Fry mushrooms in butter until done
Add wine and broth and boil until liquid is reduced by half
Serve with stuffed chicken

Goat’s cheese is from goat’s milk which is what gives it the tangy flavor.
