- Prepare the stuffing by combining the softened goat cheese, chives, chopped smoked salmon and fennel. Reserve the remaining cheese for the sauce.
- Place the slices of smoked salmon inside the chicken breasts; add the stuffing and close up.
- Fasten the chicken breasts with toothpicks so that they stay closed.
- Brush with olive oil.
- Sear over high heat and turn carefully.
- Finish cooking in a 150° C (300° F) oven for about 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Goat cheese sauce
