Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Mix the cheeses and mustard together. Cut a slit into the side of each chicken breast, then stuff with the mustard mixture. Wrap each stuffed chicken breast with 2 bacon rashers - not too tightly, but enough to hold the chicken together. Season, place on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 mins.

Tip

If you want to use less bacon, stretch out four rashers using the back of a knife to make each one longer and thinner. Wrap just one around each chicken breast as before.

Make it veggie

Cheesy baked mushrooms: Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Mix the mozzarella and cheddar with 1 tbsp pesto, then spoon into the hollows of 4 portobello mushrooms. Place on a baking tray and roast for 15 mins or until the mushrooms are softened and the cheese is bubbling.

    I used mature cheddar and wholegrain mustard instead as was cooking it for my 7 year old daughter too and it went down a treat! My friend tucked into the cheese and mustard mixture that was left over!! This is definitely going to become a regular in our house

    I made this at the weekend but instead of mozarella i used boursin with a little mature cheddar and it worked a treat! I served it with the crushed new potatoes and a side salad. I'll definitely be making this one again.

    Instead of mustard could tomato chutney be used? My other half aint a fan of mustard. Could sundried tomatoes be used also?

    Love this - really tasty. When I don't have much time I prepare it the night before and just whack it in the oven when I get home.

    I made a single one for myself last night and it wasn't bad. I used soft goats cheese with whole grain mustard and thinly sliced chestnut mushrooms and fresh oregano. I didn't have any cheddar-like cheese but I think it would have improved it a bit, as it did seem just a little dry. All in all, worth doing again, though not sure it would be dinner party class.

    I served this for a dinner party with roast potatoes, asparagus, and baby corn. It was a low-stress, yet very special main course. A nice variation on this is chicken stuffed with cranberry-Wensleydale cheese, wrapped with pancetta, & served with cranberry sauce on the side.

    This was nice, I think I cooked the chicken for too long (maybe my fillets were smaller than normal!), but overall I was pleased with the result. I served with potatoes and green veg. I think next time I will try with softer cheese to create more of a 'sauce'.

    I've cooked this for friends a couple of times, and it's a safe dish that always goes down well. Lovely served with cauliflower cheese and some green beans!

    this is the holy grail of recipes, can be prepared in advance, endless variations, few ingredients, dead easy, super tasty. used boursin light with garlic and herbs. used normal bacon, not streaky which i think improved presentation. it stayed very neat and attractive, and the filling didn't leak. used dijon mustard. but had to cook a little longer, as i had big boobs! went to boursin.com, as i would like to adapt this filling to use with other meats or fish.

    My friend Beryl recommended this recipe - it was delicious - I added porcini mushrooms to add more flavour as I dont like cheddar cheese. This is already proving to be a family favourite.

    So tasty. I wrapped the chicken in prosciutto and my 7 year old scoffed the lot.
