Introduction

This crispy cheesy chicken is perfectly paired with roast tomatoes to offset it’s rich interior

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp thyme, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 ball mozzarella, chopped
  • 3 tbsp parsley, chopped
  • Salt & pepper
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 50g fresh breadcrumbs
  • 20g Parmesan, grated
  • 100g plain flour
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Spray oil
  • 250g cherry tomatoes on the vine

Method

  • 1. Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4.
  • 2. Combine thyme, garlic, Mozarella and 1 tbs parsley, and season.
  • 3. Cut a deep pocket lengthways in the thickest part of each fillet and fill with the cheese mixture. Secure with toothpicks.
  • 4. Combine breadcrumbs, parmesan and remaining parsley, then season. Place egg in a shallow bowl. Dip chicken first in flour, then in egg, then crumbs and place in a greased baking dish. Spritz the chicken with spray oil and bake for 45 minutes, until the chicken is just cooked.
