Stuffed Chicken Breast

Another tasty dish for you to try today. This one is son simple to prepare and cooks in about half an hour so is ideal for a quick but tasty week day evening meal.

Mix grated garlic, finely chopped chilli to taste (or you can leave this out if you are not a fan of spicy food), grated reduced fat mature cheddar and a knob of "lightest" butter in a bowl. 

Cut a large pocket in your chicken breast and stuff the mixture into the chicken, really pack it in tight and then try to reseal the breast around the mixture if possible. 

Bake for 25-30 minutes at 200 degrees. These were quite large chicken breasts so they needed the full 30 minutes. Smaller ones can have five minutes or so less time in the oven.


Served here with roast potatoes and curly kale but can equally be served with a fresh seasonal side salad if you are cutting down on the calories for the new year.
