Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts skin removed
  • 8 rashers streaky bacon
  • 4 Tbsp cream cheese
  • ¼ cup of tasty cheddar cheese
  • 8 dried apricot halves
  • 2 spring onions
  • 1/4 tsp dried mixed herbs
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180C
  • Roughly chop the spring onion and apricot halves.
  • In a bowl mix together the two cheeses, the spring onion, apricot, mixed herbs, salt & pepper.
  • Cut each chicken breast in half by slicing through the breast effectively making 2 breast pieces half the original thickness.
  • Pound each breast piece until it is approximately 1/2cm thick.
  • Lay each breast piece on top of two bacon rashers, so that the longest length of breast lays across both the rashers.
  • Place 1/4 of the cheese mix length ways down the middle of the breast.
  • Roll up each piece and secure with a couple of tooth picks.
  • Bake in the oven for approx 30mins before turning up the heat to 220C for 5 mins to crisp up the bacon.
  • After that time turn the chicken over for an additional 3 minutes to crisp up the other side.
  • Serve with a delicious salad.
