Ingredients
Scale
For Caramelized Onions:
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 2–3 onions, chopped (I used vidalia)
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
For Goat Cheese Stuffed Chicken:
- 8 oz log of goat cheese
- 2 lbs of chicken tenderloins
- 1 large egg
- 1 Tablespoon of milk
- 2 cups panko bread crumbs
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Melt butter: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Caramelize onions: Add chopped onions to the pan; stir to coat. Cook on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 50 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar and continue stirring for a few more minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Prepare goat cheese mixture: Combine cooled caramelized onions with goat cheese. Mix well.
- Prepare chicken: Whisk together egg and milk in a bowl. Place goat cheese mixture on each tenderloin, roll them up, dip in egg mixture, then coat with bread crumbs.
- Cook chicken: Pan fry the chicken in vegetable oil until golden brown. Finish cooking in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Prepare sauce: In a saucepan, whisk together any leftover goat cheese mixture and cream over low heat until liquefied. Spoon over cooked chicken before serving.
Notes
- Make sure not to overstuff the chicken with the goat cheese mixture.
- You can customize the filling by adding herbs or spices to the goat cheese mixture.
- Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your chicken tenderloins.
