6 oz (175 g) goat cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 green onion, minced
1 tsp (5 mL) dried thyme
1/2 tsp (2 mL) dried marjoram
Pinch cayenne pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp (25 mL) extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper
Preparation:
In small bowl, combine goat cheese, garlic, green onion, thyme, marjoram and cayenne until smooth; set aside.
Trim any fat from chicken. With knife held horizontally and starting at thinner side, cut chicken in half almost but not all the way through; open like book. Spread 1 side of each with one-quarter of the cheese mixture. Fold uncovered side over; secure edge with small skewer or toothpicks.
In small bowl, whisk together oil, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper; brush all over chicken.
Place on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until golden brown and chicken is no longer pink inside, about 16 minutes.
