Ingredients

  •  garlic cloves peeled
  • small bunch flat-leaf parsley 
  • 85 breadcrumbs fresh
  •  chicken breasts boneless skinless
  • tbsp garlic & herb cheese soft
  • tsp plus olive oil 

Equipment

  • food processor
  • oven

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas
  2. Whizz together the 2 peeled garlic cloves, parsley and 1 tsp olive oil in a food processor.
  3. Add the breadcrumbs and seasoning before pulsing briefly to mix. Tip onto a plate.
  4. Cut a slit (roughly thumb-length) in the side of each chicken breast, at the plump end. Spoon of the soft cheese into each hole and press the edges together to seal. Rub 2 tsp oil over all the chicken breasts before pressing the herby crumbs onto them.
  5. Place the coated chicken in a shallow roasting tin. Scatter round the remaining unpeeled garlic cloves and drizzle with the rest of the oil.
