Chicken & Goat Cheese Skillet Tips

What does goat cheese go well with?

Goat cheese is a perfect blend of tangy and creamy, so it tends to go well with almost everything. Its tang balances nicely with the earthiness of mushrooms, like in this Portobello Onion Tart. Plus, its creaminess complements sharp and salty flavors, like lemon in this Artichoke Lemon Pasta and salty meats like in this Goat Cheese & Ham Omelet.

Can you freeze this chicken and goat cheese dish?

Yes, you can! Because freezing tends to turn goat cheese crumbly and rob it of a little of its flavor, frozen goat cheese is suggested only for cooked dishes, like this recipe. You can freeze leftovers in an airtight container. To use, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat on the stovetop.

How long does goat cheese last in the?fridge?

An unopened package of goat cheese can last a couple of months in the refrigerator. Once you open the package though, the clock starts ticking. An opened package of goat cheese, if stored correctly, will last up to two weeks. To keep it as fresh as possible, wrap it twice—once in the original packaging, waxed paper or parchment paper and a second time in heavy-duty foil. If the cheese starts to get moldy, throw it away.
