The perfect chicken breast covered with goat cheese with caramelized thyme pears recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.

Chicken breast covered with goat cheese

  • 2 Chicken breasts
  • 150 g Goat camembert
  • 1 Egg yolk
  • 2 tbsp Breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp Pink pepper berries
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Oil

  • 150 ml Dry white wine
  • 1 tsp Freshly plucked thyme leaves
  • Fleur de sel

Chicken breast covered with goat cheese

  1. Thinly cut the rind of the goat cheese camembert and then finely dice the camembert and place in a bowl, add the egg yolks and breadcrumbs. Roughly crush the pink pepper berries in a mortar and add them as well and now work everything with a fork to a homogeneous mass.
  2. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Salt and pepper the chicken breasts on both sides and sear them in a pan with a little oil, then place in an ovenproof dish and brush with the goat cheese mixture and cook in the oven to the end (pressure test).

Caramelized Thyme Pears

  1. Peel, quarter and core the pears and cut into wedges. Melt the butter in a pan, then add the sugar and stir. When the sugar has dissolved and a light brown caramel has formed, add the pear wedges and let them caramelize for about 3 minutes while turning.
  2. Then deglaze with the white wine and boil it down over medium heat until a very thick syrup has formed, which has really nicely wrapped around the pear wedges. Now add the thyme leaves and season with fleur de sel.
