Ingredients

  • 4 Inglewood chicken breast approx. 250g each
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Stuffing Mix

  • 4 jalapenos diced finely
  • 1 spring onions diced finely
  • 50 g cream cheese
  • 1 clove garlic crushed
  • 50 g cheddar cheese grated
  • 10 g coriander chopped finely
  • salt & pepper

Corn Hash

  • 1 ear sweetcorn kernals remove (frozen works too)
  • 80 g sweet potato diced
  • 1/2 red onion diced
  • 1 red capsicum diced
  • salt & pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Mix all the stuffing mix together and place leave in the fridge to cool
  • Slice a pocket into the chicken breast – being careful not to cut all the way through
  • Place a heaped tbsp of the stuffing mix into the breast and fold it over creating a seal
  • Use toothpicks to keep the seal closed
  • Season the chicken and sear on frying pan for 1-2 minutes to brown the top
  • Place in an oven @ 220c and cook for 20 minutes – times will differ depending upon the size of your breasts
  • With 2 minutes to go on the chicken heat a frying pan with 1 tbsp oil and fry the vegetables for the hash. Remove chicken from oven, allow to rest for a couple minutes while you cook the vegetables.
  • Remove toothpicks and serve whole or slice at an angle, being gentle not to push down on the breast so you don’t lose the filling

Notes

Essential Tools

  • chef knives
  • chopping board
  • measuring utensils
  • mixing bowl
  • frying pan
  • baking tray
  • toothpicks

Tips/Tricks

  • keeping the stuffing mix cold will help make the stuffing easier and also helps it not to leak out
  • using toothpicks helps to create a seal for the stuffing not to leak (see pics)
  • allow the chicken to rest the same as you would steak – the juices need to redistribute
  • you can add bacon to the stuffing mix too or even wrap the chicken in bacon to help keep the stuffing in and the breast moist
