Feta Stuffed Butterfly Chicken


Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes

INGREDIENTS
  • 4 large chicken breasts 
  • 115g cream cheese
  • 90g feta cheese
  • 85g pancetta 
  • 1 TBSP dried dill
  • 1 TBSP garlic powder
  • 2 TBSP melted butter
  • Salt & pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Preheat your oven to 180C.
  2. Butterfly your chicken. (If you are unsure how to do it here is an instructional video).
  3. Cover the chicken with cling film on a chopping board and tenderise it to flatten.
  4. Add the cream cheese, feta, garlic powder and dill to a mixing bowl and beat until smooth, making sure the feta is completely broken up.
  5. Spoon 1/4 of the mixture onto the smaller side of each breast then add a pinch of pancetta onto each, pushing it into the cheese. 
  6. Wrap the larger side of each breast over the smaller and tuck it under.
  7. Lightly oil a baking tray then place each fillet onto the tray.
  8. Melt the butter and drizzle it over the chicken to seal. 
  9. Add salt & pepper to taste.
  10. This recipe would be completed with a slice of bacon wrapped around each fillet, but we had ran out of bacon :(.  
  11. Place in the oven for 20 minutes or until they are cooked.
  12. You can, if you wish then place the fillets under the grill for 2 minutes to brown.
  13. Enjoy. :)
