2 tsp olive oil, divided
1/2 C chopped shallots, divided
1 tsp Splenda
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 1/2 T balsamic vinegar, divided
1/2 C (2 oz) crumbled goat cheese - to cut down on the fat, find the lowest-fat variety
2 T chopped fresh basil
3/4 tsp salt, divided
4 (6-oz) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper

I enjoyed this recipe for lunch today. I made according to the directions. There are two things I will do different. The chicken breasts were bigger than 6 oz., so I will cut the size. The goat cheese was a little strong for my taste, so I will find a lo-cal cream cheese or other substitute. - 4/23/11

The broth adds a lot! Double the broth and use fresh(x3) thyme (x6 for dbl.) For sweetener, I prefer 3 drops liquid Natures Way Liquid Stevia. I used suggestions: Served with Strawberry Spinach Salad:-); next time to cook, i'll flatten meat, spread mixture on top, roll up, bake @ 350 for 30-45 min. - 3/9/10
