Stuffed Chicken Breasts

This recipe is so easy to make I gave Mirek instructions over the phone and he made it for me. Really tasty and healthy-ish, and great if you want to use up what's in the fridge.

Tip: Make sure you check the chicken every 15mins and mix the mixture and baste over the chicken


Crucials

Chicken breasts x 3
One big onion
One carrot
Half a block of feta cheese (or you can use pack of boursin)
Six-Eight mushrooms
Eight cherry tomatoes
One Pepper (Red is best)
Small packet of pancetta or three slices of bacon
One lemon
Glug of olive oil
Salt & Pepper
Three slices of parma ham (o)

Stuffing

• Pre-heat your oven to 180degrees
• Chop all the veg and bacon/pancetta into tiny pieces (onion, carrot, mushrooms, tomatoes, pepper) and add to a big mixing bowl
• Crumble in the feta cheese
• Add a glug of oil
• Squeeze in the lemon
• Season with salt and pepper and mix it all together well
• Slice a pocket sideways into each chicken breast (like a pitta bread)
• Stuff each breast with the mixture
• Optional: Wrap each chicken breast with the parma ham and place in a roasting tray

Sprinkle the remainder stuffing around the chicken breasts and a little over the top
Place in the middle of the oven and bake for approx 40-45mins (checking and basting every 15mins)

It might look a little burnt on top of the chicken, but it's not it's crispy and makes it taste even better!

Serve with rice. Soooooo yum!
