Garlic: Cloves for Cancer Protection

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Spread the walnuts in a pie plate and transfer to preheated oven to toast , about 6 minutes. Let cool, then chop.
In a small bowl, mash the goat cheese with the lemon zest, garlic and half of the walnuts; season with salt and pepper.
Using a small knife, slice a pocket in the side of each chicken breast; keep the pocket opening as small as possible. Stuff the chicken breasts with the mixture and gently press to seal.
In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil until shimmering. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and cook over moderately high heat, turning once, until browned, about 6 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the chicken for 5 minutes.
Transfer the chicken breasts to a platter and keep warm.
Add the lemon juice and stock to the skillet and cook over moderately high heat, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the pan. Simmer for 3 minutes. Stir in the macadamia oil, parsley and the remaining chopped walnuts.
Transfer the chicken breasts to plates, spoon the walnut sauce on top and serve.
