Watching Too Much Chopped is Not a Bad Thing

Being slightly competitive people who like to cook, the TV show Chopped is an obvious choice for weeknight couch time.   If you're unfamiliar with the show, the premise is that contestants each get a basket filled with random "mystery ingredients" that they must then use to cook a dish in a set amount of time, which is something ridiculous like 20 minutes.  It usually takes me 20 minutes to figure out where I put the bottle of  olive oil when I am cooking dinner, but no matter. 

Last week we combined the random odds and ends in our fridge to make the above: Goat Cheese and Sun Dried Tomato Chicken.  Our ingredients weren't nearly as bizarre as the ones on Chopped, but I was quite happy to have a delicious dinner and clean out the fridge at the same time.

4 chicken breasts (we planned on leftovers)
~8 tablespoons goat cheese
A handful of sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and chopped
1/2 small onion, finely diced
Salt & pepper

Mark seasoned the chicken breasts and browned them a bit in a pan.  Meanwhile, combine the rest of the ingredients and mix well.  Preheat the oven to 375.  Once the chicken is browned and cooled a bit, spread the cheese mixture on top and pop in the oven.  We cooked them for 10 minutes or so and then turned on the broiler for a few to brown up the cheese a bit.  We served them with Israeli couscous and sauteed broccoli and probably ate them while placing bets on mystery ingredients while watching Chopped.
