Mozzarella-oozing rosemary chicken

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
700 grams Potatoes; cubed
150 grams Mozzarella; drained
1½ teaspoon Dried rosemary
¼ teaspoon Dried chilli flakes
8 Boneless chicken thighs; trimmed to neaten
1 tablespoon Plain flour
Olive oil; for brushing
25 grams Butter; 1 leek
2 tablespoons Milk or single cream
Salt and pepper

Directions

Preheat the grill to high.

1 Cook the potatoes in a pan of boiling, salted water for 10-15 minutes until tender. Halve the mozzarella widthways, then cut each half into four wedges.

2 Mix the rosemary, chilli, salt and pepper in a bowl, then toss the cheese in it.

3 Lay the chicken out flat, sprinkle with the flour and place a cheese wedge in the centre of each. Roll up and secure with wooden cocktail sticks, tucking in the ends, if possible.

4 Heat a little oil in a large saute pan and brown the chicken. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes until cooked through. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a frying pan.

5 Cut the leek into strips and cook in the butter for 2-3 minutes until softened. Drain the potatoes well and mash with the milk or cream. Stir in the leeks and season to taste.

6 Divide the leek mash between serving plates, remove the cocktail sticks from the chicken and place on top, spoon round the chicken-pan juices and serve.

7 For Melting Mozzarella Chicken Tagliatelle: Add cherry tomatoes to the tin with the chicken. When cooked, third each chicken roll and toss with cooked tagliatelle and roasted tomatoes. Sprinkle over chopped parsley or basil and grated Parmesan to serve.

TIPS: Use fresh rosemary if you have it. Use other cuts of chicken such as batted-out chicken breasts.
