Serve these with roasted new potatoes and carrots. From The Great British Kitchen published by The British Food Trust.
Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 ounces sage derby cheese, cut into 4 equal pieces
fresh ground black pepper
8 slices bacon or 8 slices streaky bacon
2 tablespoons butter
Directions:
1. For each breast, remove the loose fillet from the underside and flatten that, along with the breast, between sheets of plastic wrap, using a rolling pin or mallet.
2. Place a piece of cheese on each breast and cover with the fillet; season well with the pepper and make sure the chicken wraps around the cheese.
3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
4. Cut the bacon in half lengthwise; use 4 pieces to wrap around each packet the long way.
5. Cut remaining bacon in half crosswise; wrap across each packet to form 2 crosses and secure with toothpicks.
6. Place parcels in a baking dish and roast, basting with the butter, for 30 to 40 minutes.
