Chicken Breast and Walnut-Goat Cheese Butter Recipe - Home Chef (2)

Tangy, creamy, and oh-so-good, goat cheese brings its magic to salads on the regular, but it's best enjoyed atop a succulent and juicy protein, as it is here. Rich butter (the magic ingredient) and walnuts combine with the goat cheese, making every bite of this chicken breast a revelation. The mashed butternut squash on the side has its own glories with smooth butter enhancing the natural flavors. Creamy, buttery, sweet, nutty… this meal has all the good things. Tip: Line 'em up! The best way to remove the ends of green beans is to line them up evenly, then remove them with one cut.
