Ingredients
Method
- 3 Tbsp Gregg's Basil & Garlic Paste
- 200g ricotta cheese
- 1 red capsicum, finely diced
- 6 boneless chicken breasts
- 6 rashers streaky bacon
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 350g green beans
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp Gregg's Garlic Granules
- Gregg's Natural Sea Salt, freshly ground
- Gregg's Coloured Peppercorns, freshly ground
- 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.
