Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 packs Skin on chicken breasts
125 grams Butter; softened (4oz)
1 125 gram pac grey chanterelle mushrooms; brushed and sliced
; if large
2 Cloves garlic; finely chopped
2 tablespoons Fresh parsley; finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Take the chicken breasts and make an incision in the centre of each, cutting to a depth of 5mm ( ¼ inch). Avoid cutting right through, you want to make a cavity for stuffing.

Melt 25g (1oz) of the butter in a frying pan and over a moderate heat saute the mushrooms for 1-2 minutes until just soft . Put to one side.

Combine the remaining butter with the finely chopped garlic and half the parsley. Place on a piece of greaseproof paper and roll up to form a cylinder shape. Place in the freezer for 5 minutes to go firm.

Preheat the oven to 200 C, 400 F, Gas Mark 6.

Take the chicken breast and stuff the cavity with some of the mushrooms and slices of butter. Sprinkle with the remaining parsley and season with salt and ground black pepper.

Wrap each chicken breast in a piece of foil to form a parcel. Place on a baking tray and cook for 25 minutes. Meanwhile preheat the grill to a moderate heat.

Remove chicken from the oven and unwrap each parcel to expose the chicken, place under the grill for 5 minutes to crisp up the skin. Serve immediately.
