01
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the white wine, oil, oregano, pesto, lemon zest and juice, garlic, salt, and pepper to make the marinade. Place the chicken leg quarters in a large resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and give it a good shake to coat the chicken evenly. Pop it in the fridge to marinate for at least 2 hours, flipping the bag halfway through to make sure all sides soak up the flavors.

Step 2
When you're ready, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and let the chicken come to room temperature while it heats up. Take the chicken out of the bag, drain off the marinade, and pat the pieces dry before arranging them in a baking dish. Roast the chicken for 20 minutes, then flip each piece and continue cooking until the meat is no longer pink near the bone and the juices run clear—this should take about another 20 minutes. If you have a meat thermometer, look for 165°F (74°C).

Step 3
While the chicken finishes roasting, bring the goat cheese to room temperature and start on the sauce. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, then sauté the onion and garlic until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the white wine and lemon juice, then stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and pesto. Season with salt and pepper, lower the heat, and let the sauce simmer gently until it thickens a bit, around 15 minutes.

Step 4
Once the chicken is done, take it out of the oven and top each piece with two slices of goat cheese—one on the thigh and one on the leg portion. Spoon the sauce over the chicken generously and serve right away.

How to serve
Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple mixed green salad to balance the richness of the chicken. A light lemon vinaigrette or garlic mashed potatoes also complement the flavors well and make the meal complete.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to avoid drying out the meat. For longer storage, freeze the chicken and thaw overnight before reheating.
