Do not overcook this sauce as it will seperate and turn to crap. Stir in veloute to taste (start with 2 T) and thicken if need be with cornstarch slurry. Season with 2 whole clove peices small slice of lemon and salt & pepper. Set aside and keep warm.

Cut a pocket on chicken breast from the side and stuff w/ goats cheese. (If you like you can use regular goats cheese and marinate the chicken in olive/vegetable oil & herbs overnight.) Heat oven safe frying pan to medium high heat, and add a little oil, Oil should be pretty hot, insert stuffed chicken - skin down - and fry about 2 mins, making sure skin is browned well, turn chicken over and finish, in pan, in oven for 10-15 mins or until all pink is cooked out.
