Chez's Recipe
Ingredients
Method
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 2 eggs, beaten together
- plain flour
- white breadcrumbs
- half a cup of grated cheese
- 100g of ham
Method
- At the thickest part of the chicken breast, create a hole with a knife that goes through the center of the chicken breast, without breaking through the sides, to create a large pocket.
- Wrap some of the cheese with the ham and insert into the hole you've created in the chicken.
- Using your fingers, push the ham and cheese right through the center from the outside of the breast, forming an even layer inside.
- Cover the breast in a thin layer of flour, then dip in eggs, then cover in layer of breadcrumbs.
- Place chicken on an oven tray with baking paper.
- Cook on 180'c for 10 minutes. Turn over, and lightly garnish the top with more chopped parsley.
- Replace in oven for another 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
“A cook she certainly was, in the very bone and centre of her soul. Not a chicken or turkey or duck in the bary-yard but looked grave when they saw her approaching, and seemed evidently to be reflecting on their latter end; and certain it was that she was always meditating on trussing, stuffing and roasting, to a degree that was calculated to inspire terror in any reflecting fowl living.”
