CAMEMBERT CHICKEN PARMIGIANA

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 180°C / 350°F.
• Cut pocket into thickest part of chicken breast and stuff with slices of Camembert cheese. Put it well into the middle and press down the outer edges to keep it together.
• Lightly beat together egg, garlic, onion powder and tarragon in a bowl.
• Dip chicken breasts in egg mix and roll in breadcrumbs to coat.
• Place chicken in a foil lined baking dish and place in oven on a lower rack for 35 minutes.
• Remove and spread pasta sauce evenly over the top, and sprinkle with parmesan.
• Return to oven on a higher rack (but not too close to the top) for around 15 minutes until cheese has melted.

GARLIC CHICKEN PARCELS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C Fan/gas 7. Cut a slit halfway in each chicken breast, then put each one between two pieces of baking parchment and bash with a rolling pin to flatten slightly.
• Cut your sheet of pastry in half widthways and put both halves on a baking tray. Sit a chicken breast on top of each half, then cram the cavities with the Boursin (don't worry if a bit of cheese oozes out). Season, scatter over the lemon zest then fold the edges of the pastry in to the centre and pinch shut. Flip each parcel over so the seal is on the bottom. Brush with a little oil, then bake for 30 mins until deep golden.
• About 10 mins before your parcels are ready, steam or boil the greens until tender. Toss in the oil and season. Serve alongside your chicken parcels with lemon wedges for squeezing over.

SAVORY CHICKEN PARCELS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375*. Cut 4 sheets of foil, about 12 inches square. Place one breast on each, arrange a quarter of the vegetables on top. Prepare seasoning mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, basil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper until combined. Spoon about 1/4 of the seasoning mixture evenly over each chicken and vegetable mound. With the chicken and vegetable mound crosswise on the foil, fold the 2 sides over both ends of the chicken. Fold the nearest edge over the chicken; then fold the farthest edge toward you over the whole parcel so that the end folds underneath the parcel. Bake the parcels in a baking dish for 30-35 minutes. Unwrap each parcel and transfer the chicken and vegetables to a serving platter with the juices. This is good with a wild and white rice and sugar snap peas.
