Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Steamed Veg
We have re-worked this favourite recipe a little to make it even simpler and looking just so much more appetising.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter [divided into 2 portions]
- 4 chicken breast
- 8 slices bacon [slices - streaky bacon]
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 carrot [peeled and cut into sticks]
- 200 g green bean [trimmed]
- 1 tsp honey
Chicken stuffing
- 100 g feta cheese [crumbled]
- 2 sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil [chopped]
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 190C.
- Make the filling : mash together all filling ingredients. Season with a little salt, some pepper and 1 tbsp warm water.
- Cut the chicken breasts in half so you have two thin sheets per breast. Take a mallet and beat the chicken slices so they have an even thin surface. (you can use a rolling pin or a bottle to do this too)
- Press a little cheese mixture on each piece of chicken sheet. Roll the chicken breast into a roll. Wrap a slice of bacon around the roll. Bacon sticks nicely together so no need for toothpicks.
- Heat, oil with 1/2 the butter in a large pan. Brown the chicken on all sides. (around 3 minutes per side). Place the breasts into the pre-heated oven for another 5 min to cook through while you prepare the carrots. Remove the chicken from the oven and let rest for 3 min.
- Steam carrots for approx. 5 min, then add beans for approx. 3 minutes. Drain. Add the remaining butter, honey and a pinch of salt to a pan and add the carrots and beans. Coat and serve with the stuffed chicken rolls.
