How to make it
Doesn’t chicken stuffed with goat’s cheese sound an absolute delight? This recipe also uses tarragon and chilli and the chicken is wrapped in crispy prosciutto. Delicious!
- Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5.
- Beat together the goat’s cheese, lemon zest, chilli, tarragon and some seasoning.
- Cut a slit in the side of each chicken breast, ensuring that you don’t pierce through the other side.
- Using your fingers, make a pocket and stuff the cheese mix inside.
- Season the chicken breasts, then wrap 2 slices of prosciutto around each, covering the pocket tightly.
- Put on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and cook for 18-20 mins until cooked through but still moist, and the juices run clear.
Serve the chicken stuffed with goat’s cheese with a side of asparagus, tenderstem broccoli, and mashed potatoes.
