Stuffed Chicken w/ goat cheese and oregano

Pretty easy and good for summer...oregano is the common factor in all the elements of this..

Chicken with Goat Cheese and Oregano served with Yam chips and Cucumber Salad

either slice a pocket in a large chicken breast, or pound the breast flat
Make a mixture of goat cheese, fresh chopped oregano and a small bit of maple syrup or agave nectar... stuff the breasts or spread mixture and fold over pounded breasts. Place in a flat pan and drizzle Maple syrup (or Agave or whatever you have) and lemon Juice...let stand for about 10 minutes, turn, add salt and pepper and let stand for another 10 min.

grill indirectly on medium heat with fruitwood such as cherry or apple

note: for a bit more savory taste, add chopped green onion to the stuffing...

Yam Chips:
