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.

    Made this for a family Sunday lunch, it was very tasty and looks quite impressive but we did find it a bit dry. If I was going to make it again I'd serve it with veggies in some sort of a sauce - creamy leeks or peas for example.

    I've done this recipe several times now and have passed on the recipe to everyone I have served it to. I like it just the way it is but may have a go at using Boursin. Commenting on Helen's remarks that there wasn't a lot of sauce......I found that mine had as much sauce as I would have wanted.

    Unbelievably simple recipe that you can prepare the day before and cook at the last minute. Looks harder than it is and is delicious cold.

    A great recipe! Brilliant! Sadly it's difficult to find proper bacon in Japan. But the chicken goes really well with mustard.

    Did this for a dinner party and it went down a storm. Pancetta is better than bacon as it crisps up more easily. As well as experimenting with Boursin I also used spinach which added a rich colour and improved the texture and flavour. Yummy!!

    This was the first recipe I have cooked off the site as a main meal. I replaced the mozzarella for boursin as suggested and absolutely loved it, as did my Mum and Dad!

    WOW!!!! So, so, soooooooooo easy, yet so, so, soooooooooooooooooooooo tasty!! I'm not normally one for going to as much 'effort' to make something, however there is simply o effort needed. Simply 5 minutes to put it in the oven, and then leave it to work it's magic, mmmmmmmmmmmm......

    Had significant procedural issues with this recipe. First, it took nearly twice as long as advertised to cook the bacon, with the result being rather dried-out chicken. Also, the filling all melted out, leaving the chicken rather tasteless. Still, a tasty idea. I think next time I'll try pounding the chicken flat, spreading it with the filling, and rolling it up pinwheel-style. I had sprinkled some of the cheese over the top, which baked up quite nicely, so I'll also be sure to try that trick again.
