Better late than never!
I developed this recipe over a year ago. It has been recreated in my kitchen many times and practice really does make perfect. The blend of spices and a bit of onion in mouthwatering cream cheese is nothing short of outstanding! The chicken can be cut with a fork and the slight crunchy exterior is a perfect contract to the creamy, melted filling. I always serve this chicken dish with slices of pear, from a can I admit, but they are none the less wonderful. The slightly sweet fruit enhances the flavor of the basil and cream cheese, much like a good wine when paired well with food. Feel free to add a slightly fruity white wine to this meal if you desire.
I would live to develop this recipe for the grill, but have not yet figured out how. Foil wrap perhaps. Ideas welcome!
