Chicken and Goat Cheese in Grape Leaves
4 boneless skinless free-range chicken breasts
½ teaspoon Celtic salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
6 ounces fresh goat cheese
4 fresh basil leaves
4 fresh sage leaves
8 or 12 grape leaves in brine
1 garlic clove
Sprig of rosemary
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Spread ¼ of the goat cheese over the top of each piece of chicken. Place 1 basil leaf and 1 sage leaf over each; wrap each with 2 or 3 grape leaves. Place about 1 inch of water in a large saucepan with a steaming rack; arrange the wrapped chicken on the steaming rack. Add garlic and rosemary to the water and bring to a boil. Cook, covered, over high heat for about 20 minutes, making sure the water doesn’t evaporate. Serve with potatoes or brown rice.
