Here's a quick recipe of what I created with ♥'s 40% discounted pack of chicken breasts he scored. I have always found chicken to be a little boring unless it's spiced up Mexican style or beaten and breaded into a schnitzel, but this combination keeps the meat moist and full of flavour.
The little wrapped chicken breasts cooking away
Plating up - with a little pinch of chilli powder
The final result - simple but oh so tasty
For this flavourful juicy chicken:
4 medium chicken breasts
4 large slices of soft cheese of your choice (I used Tomme de Neuchâtel)
3 Rosemary leaves for each breast
4 slices of bacon or serrano ham for wrapping
Salt & Pepper to season
Firstly, I sliced a cavity in each breast for the cheese to be placed into. It's important to make sure that you can place it securely in there so most of it will remain in the breast and not melt out into the pan. Then place the cheese slices into the cavity, you can cut them so they fit nicely, on top of the cheese place the rosemary leaves. To act as a safety-pin, the bacon/ham is then wrapped around the chicken breasts to keep them closed and secure while they are cooking. Fry each breast at a medium temperature for about 6 minutes on each side or until meat is no longer clear. As the chicken is so juicy, I simply served it with runner (green) beans and baby new potatoes with a little butter.
♥ said it was the best & juiciest chicken anyone had ever made him
Yummm! Looks amazing.
