Using your fingers, gently pull the skin away from the chicken breast and place about a tablespoon of filling under each piece of skin. Season top of chicken breasts with sea salt. Roast for 35-40 minutes, or until chicken registers 160ºF with a meat thermometer. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.
