Shropshire Blue Chicken with Buttered Leeks serves 2 2 free range chicken breasts 4 slices free range unsmoked back bacon 4 thin slices Shropshire Blue cheese (or any other blue cheese) 2 large leeks 1oz butter
With a sharp knife, sllice open the chicken breasts horizontally. Place two slices of cheeses inside each chicken breast, then wrap two slices of bacon around each piece of chicken to hold it together. Line a roasting tin with a large piece of tin foil, oil the foil with a splash of olive oil, place the chicken breasts in and cover over with the foil to make a parcel. Bake at 190°C for about 25 minutes, then open up the foil and bake uncovered for a further 5 minutes, or until the bacon is lightly browned and the chicken is cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, wash and finely slice the leeks. Melt the butter in a large pan, then saute the leeks for 5-10 minutes, until tender. Put the cooked chicken on a plate and cover with the leeks and melted butter. Serve with a crisp green salad (or runner beans!) |
