Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Make a sideways cut into each supreme or breast so you can fold the top half back like a book. Bat each side out slightly with a rolling pin to make the meat a bit thinner.
  2. Fry the onion in a little butter until soft then stir in the breadcrumbs, grapes, pecans, orange zest and tarragon and season. Divide the stuffing between the chicken breasts and fold the skin side of the chicken back over the filling. Smear a little butter over the skin and move carefully to a shallow roasting tin (a deep one will steam rather than roast them).
  3. Roast for 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin crisp and golden. Drizzle with orange juice and serve with juices from the tin and lemon wedges.

    Made this as a mid week meal and really enjoyed it. It was an interesting combination of flavours.

    This was excellent! I liked the tip about bashing the chicken to make it thinner - it's the first time I've successfully got all the stuffing stuffed in a chicken breast! I served it with Dauphinoise Potatoes and I think it benefitted from the extra gooiness - could be dry with rice I think.

    Nice dish. Lovely, unusual taste. I made it for dinner and had some for lunch in the next day and it was even tastier.
