Hunter's Chicken: Chicken Breast Stuffed with Cream Cheese, Wrapped in Bacon by Barry Horne

Ingredients:

4 x chicken breasts

12 slices of smoked streaky bacon

200g cream cheese

100g grated cheddar or Red Leicester 

1 egg 

200ml your favourite BBQ sauce

100ml water 

Salt & pepper 


Method:

Get one of our butchers to butterfly the chicken breasts for the filling.

In a bowl add the cream cheese, grated cheese and egg, season with salt and pepper and mix well.

Spoon this into the chicken breast and fold the top back over.

Spread out the streaky bacon and flatten it out a little to make them wrapping the chicken a little easier. Wrap each breast with 2-3 slices of the bacon to seal everything in.

Place the chicken breasts in a deep baking dish and pour the BBQ sauce over the breasts. Bake in the oven for 25-30 mins depending on the size of the chicken breasts.

Serve with either mashed potato or some mac and cheese.
