Italian, Goat Cheese Stuffed Chicken Thighs

One thing my family loves is chicken thighs.  I really think it is sometimes the forgotten cut of chicken. But the thighs are tender and flavorful.  Braised, they just fall apart and if you buy the boneless, skinless pieces they are perfect to stuff or roll with anything your heart desires.

Italian Chicken Thighs with Goat Cheese

8 Chicken Thighs, boned and skinless

8 slices Black Forest Ham

8 slices Italian Salami

8 oz Goat Cheese

1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese

1 tsp. Italian Seasoning

1 tsp. chives

1/2 tsp. garlic salt

1/2 tsp. black pepper

salt

pepper

Italian Seasoning

Olive Oil

Preheat oven to 425 degrees
Mix the goat cheese with the Italian seasoning, chives, garlic salt, black pepper and Parmesan cheese.  Lay out the chicken thighs and lightly pound so that you have nice, uniform rectangles.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add a slice of ham and salami to each piece of chicken.  Evenly divide the goat cheese mixture to each piece.  Gently roll the chicken and place on a baking oiled baking sheet.  Drizzle each piece of chicken with olive oil and sprinkle with a desired amount of Italian seasoning.
Bake for 35 - 40 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken.
