Ingredients
  • Two Chicken Breasts (I used 3 because I'm a greedy bugger)
  • 6 slices of proscuttio
  • Blue cheese (I used St Agur)
  • Rice (I used wholegrain)
  • 2 Carrots
  • Peas

Method
Firstly, soften the rice by placing the desired amount in water in the pan, and finely chop the carrots.

Pre-heat your oven to 180°C.


Taking a sharp knife, cut the chicken breast in two, being careful not to cut all the way through, so you can fold out the breast. Place the cheese inside:

Next, wrap the breasts in the proscuttio:

Bring the rice to the boil and then simmer for 20-25 minutes. At the same time, place the chicken breasts into the pre-heated oven.

Bring the carrots to the boil five minutes later and simmer for 15-20 minutes, adding the peas with ~3 minutes to go.

Serve with a light red wine, or in my case, water ;).

looks nice mate. What do you recommend to stuff it with if someone's not a big fan of blue cheese?

bit of Red Leicester? :D
Not sure to be honest. The blue cheese compliments the chicken so well. You could try a milder cheese, dolce latte for example?
 
whens the next recipie coming platypus ? did you just make this up as you went along or way it off the inet or something ? thanks
This was all from my head actually, although I do sometimes try internet/book recipes.

I post them every now and again, if you search for topics made by me you might find a few more :).
