When prepared in this way, millet takes on a creamy, almost Thanksgiving stuffing-like texture. The goat cheese melts into the dish at the end, complementing the hearty flavors of the chicken, leeks, and sweet red grapes.
1 1/2 pounds skinless boneless chicken thighs
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
