Ingredients

  • Garlic Clove: 6 garlic cloves, 2 peeled
  • Chicken Breast: 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • Olive Oil: PLUS 4 tsp olive oil
  • Parsley: small bunch flat-leaf parsley
  • Breadcrumb: 85g fresh breadcrumbs
  • Garlic: 4 tbsp garlic & herb soft cheese

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Whizz together the 2 peeled garlic cloves, parsley and 1 tsp olive oil in a food processor. Add the breadcrumbs and seasoning before pulsing briefly to mix. Tip onto a plate.
  2. Cut a slit (roughly thumb-length) in the side of each chicken breast, at the plump end. Spoon 1/4 of the soft cheese into each hole and press the edges together to seal. Rub 2 tsp oil over all the chicken breasts before pressing the herby crumbs onto them.
  3. Place the coated chicken in a shallow roasting tin. Scatter round the remaining unpeeled garlic cloves and drizzle with the rest of the oil. Bake for 20-25 mins until the chicken is cooked and crumbs crisp and golden. Squeeze out the soft, roasted garlic from the skins and serve with the chicken.
