I was due to go out to the pub and thought I'd best line my stomach before having a "drinkypoohs", but as I didn't have any bread in the house, I thought I'd better raid the fridge.
I had the usual bacon, chicken and some herbs and didn't really want to spend an eternity on the hob so quickly threw together this dish.
This dish is so simple but still has enough flavour in there to make you think you've spent some quality time on it.
Ingredients:
2 chicken thigh fillets
2 rashers of smoked bacon
4 cherry tomatoes, halved
6 basil leaves
2 slices of mozzarella cheese (or a spoon of cream cheese will do)
Method:
1. Open up the chicken thigh fillets and lay on a flat surface over the top of a rasher of bacon. Place one basil leaf in the chicken and pop a slice of mozzarella on top. Place a couple of the tomato halves on the cheese and then place another basil leaf on top.
2. Roll the chicken up and take care in not allowing the inner ingredients to fall out. Tuck the bacon rasher ends underneath which will stop the fillet opening up in the oven.
3. Pop into an ovenproof dish and place into a pre-heated oven (170 deg. celsius) for approximately 20 minutes.
4. Serve with salad or a side dish of your choice. (Mashed potatoes and a chicken gravy goes down very well!)
