Strawberry Balsamic Chicken Recipe
 
 
Ingredients
  • 6-8 chicken quarters (thighs and drumstick attached)
  • 1 package or handful of fresh basil leaves
  • 1 package Boursin Garlic and Fine Herbs
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries sliced or quartered
  • balsamic glaze
  • 1/4 cup pistachio nuts, coarsely chopped
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375F.
  2. Rinse chicken quarters in cold water and pat dry with paper towel. Lift the upper edge of the skin and press with your fingers down into the drumstick to make a pocket. Slide one or two basil leaves in and pieces of boursin cheese. Press as far in as you can so that the cheese won't all melt out into the pan.
  3. Place skin side up in a large roasting pan. Drizzle very lightly with extra virgin olive oil and bake for about 45-50 minutes or longer until the chicken is cooked through and a meat thermometer reads 165F.
  4. Remove from oven and place the pieces on a serving platter. Scatter strawberries over. Then drizzle with balsamic glaze. Sprinkle the pistachio pieces over and garnish with fresh balsamic leaves.
  5. Serve immediately.
