Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375. Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil (spray lightly with oil, if using foil). To make the meatballs, lightly mix together the first 10 ingredients (through ground pepper). Form into 1-1.5″ meatballs (you'll get about 25) and place on the baking sheet. Break the goat cheese into several small pieces and place one piece on the top of each meatball, pressing down lightly. Drizzle with olive oil, if using (it will help with browning) and bake about 15 minutes, or until cooked through. Meanwhile, place the bread slices on a baking sheet and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Place in the oven for about 5 minutes or until crisp (just put them in during the last 5 minutes the meatballs are baking). After you take the crostini out of the oven, rub it with the cut side of the garlic clove, while the bread is still hot. To assemble: Place 1 basil leaf on top of each slice of toast. Top with about 2 tsp. of marinara sauce and 1 meatball. desiree

BALSAMIC GOAT CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir shallot until translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour balsamic vinegar into skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until balsamic vinegar mixture is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Stir often.
• Cut chicken breasts from one side through the middle horizontally to within one-half inch of the other side. Open the two sides and spread them out like an open book.
• Spread half the goat cheese onto one half of each chicken breast and drizzle 1/3 of the reduced balsamic vinegar mixture over the goat cheese. Close the chicken breasts over the goat cheese and secure with toothpicks. Arrange chicken into a baking dish. Drizzle with remaining 1/3 of the balsamic reduction.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink inside, the filling is hot, and the juices run clear, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of a filled breast should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
