Tangy cheese melts into succulent chicken breasts for a filling, flavoursome meal that only takes half an hour to prepare

  • Serves: 4

  • Cooking time: 30 mins

Ingredients

Don't fancy rice? This chicken dish tastes just as great with mashed potato or chunky chips.

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 115g (4oz) Gorgonzola or mozzarella
  • 10g (¼ oz) rosemary, roughly chopped
  • 125g (4½ oz) breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2-3tbsp light olive oil
  • 350g jar tomato and chilli pasta sauce
  • Salad leaves and wild rice, to serve

Method

  1. Lay clingfilm over each chicken breast and flatten with a rolling pin. Divide the cheese into four portions and place one on each breast. Fold the meat over to form a parcel.
  2. Mix the rosemary and breadcrumbs together and season well. Dip each chicken breast into the beaten egg followed by the breadcrumbs, coating both sides.
  3. Heat the oil on a medium heat in a large frying pan and fry the chicken for 10 mins, turning halfway through. Warm through the tomato and chilli sauce and serve, spooned over the chicken, with salad leaves and wild rice.
