Tonight's Dinner: Chicken with Goat Cheese Vinaigrette

I use goat cheese all the time because it's one of those wonderful cheeses that's delicious spread on bread or crackers or crumbled over salads and pastas. I thought I was using it all the possible ways you could. But Real Simple Magazine showed me that there was one option I hadn't thought of: using it as the base for a vinaigrette. This vinaigrette could then be poured over salad or chicken or even a nice piece of steak. But since I'd just purchased some boneless skinless chicken breasts, I thought spooning it over the chicken would be ideal. I wasn't wrong. The cheese and vinegar added a wonderful tang to the savory piece of meat, making this chicken a delicious choice any night of the week.
