Method

  1. To make this chicken breast recipe, slit the chicken breasts horizontally to make a pocket.
  2. Place the tomatoes, mozzarella and basil in a bowl and drizzle over the olive oil.
  3. Fill the chicken breasts with the tomato mixture and close together. Use cocktail sticks to hold each chicken breast together.
  4. Mix the crushed shredded wheat with the breadcrumbs and black pepper and tip on to a flat tray. Tip the beaten egg into a dish.
  5. Coat the chicken breasts in the egg, making sure you cover both sides. Then lay in the breadcrumb mix, make sure you cover both sides. If you have time, leave in the fridge for at least 5 mins before cooking as this helps the breadcrumbs to stick.
  6. About 15 mins before you are ready to cook the chicken, preheat the oven to 190ºC/374F/gas 5. Place the chicken breasts on to a lightly greased oven tray and bake in the oven for approximately 20 mins, turning over halfway through cooking until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve with the green salad tossed in the dressing
