Aromatic Herbs
Herbes de Provence is a blend of dried herbs that are commonly associated with the Provence region of France.
It typically includes: thyme, basil, rosemary, tarragon marjoram, oregano, savory, and culinary lavender buds (though not always included, it is a distinctive addition).
These herbs are often used in French cuisine to season meats, fish, vegetables, and sauces. The blend provides an exquisite fragrance and aromatic flavor that elevates this dish.

Herb-Crusted Blueberry Goat Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts
4 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
4 oz goat cheese
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup baby arugula
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons Herbs de Provence
Salt and pepper to taste
Toothpicks or kitchen twine
In a bowl, combine the goat cheese, blueberries, and arugula. Season the mixture with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Pat the chicken breasts dry. Using a sharp knife, carefully create a pocket in the thickest part of each chicken breast, ensuring you don’t cut through completely.
Fill each chicken breast pocket with the goat cheese mixture. Secure the openings with toothpicks or kitchen twine to prevent the filling from spilling out.
Rub the outside of each chicken breast with olive oil. Sprinkle Herbs de Provence generously over the chicken, pressing gently to adhere the herbs.
In an oven-safe skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts on both sides for about 3-4 minutes until they are golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with a side of fresh arugula or a simple salad.
This dish will be bursting with flavors from the tangy goat cheese, sweet blueberries, and aromatic Herbs de Provence.
