Serves:
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken
- 1 cup of soft cheese (such as boursin or goat cheese)
- 1/4 cup of fresh basil, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Place the chicken breast-side down on a cutting board. Use kitchen shears or a sharp knife to cut along both sides of the backbone and remove it.
-
Flip the chicken over and press down on the breastbone to flatten it. This is called spatchcocking.
-
Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the soft cheese and chopped basil. Spread this mixture evenly over the skin side of the chicken.
-
Place the chicken on a baking sheet, skin-side up, and roast in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
-
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
