Serves:
6
Preparation Time:
15 minutes
Cooking Time:
20 minutes

Ingredients

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Mix the Gregg's Garlic and Basil Paste with the ricotta and capsicum and return to the fridge to keep firm.

Remove the excess fat and tenderloin from the chicken breasts. Slice each chicken breast horizontally (without cutting through entirely) and open out.

Place the ricotta mix onto one side of each chicken breast and fold over to enclose the filling, then carefully wrap the bacon rasher around and secure with a toothpick.

Heat the oil in frying pan and brown both sides of the chicken over medium heat. Place in a single layer in an ovenproof dish. Bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

Just before the chicken is cooked, cook the green beans and toss with the butter, Gregg's Garlic Granules, salt and pepper.

Serve the chicken with the green beans and boiled baby potatoes.

    Very yummy, but a bit fiddly when wrapping bacon around the chicken. Use whole bacon rashers rather than streaky bacon - it holds the filling in better! Looks great when served.
