Camembert chicken

Jul 08 08:40am

Serves
4

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts
1 bunch chives, chopped
2 cloves garlic chopped or crushed
1 packet Camembert Cheese
2 tbsp whole cranberry sauce (Can use jelly if preferred)
150ml fresh cream (Can use Carnation Skinny Tinny for a lower fat option)
500ml white wine (Can substitute with vegetable or chicken stock)
1 tbsp butter
Toothpicks

Method

Soften camembert cheese, add chopped chives and garlic.
Mash together and place on glad wrap and roll into a log. Place in fridge for 10 minutes or so until the mixture hardens slightly
Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket in each chicken breast. Place 1/4 of the hardened cheese mixture in each pocket, securing the opening with 2-3 toothpicks.
Heat frying pan and melt butter, place chicken breasts in pan and brown either side for 8 mins each.
Reduce heat, pour wine over chicken, place lid on pan, and simmer for 40 mins, or until chicken is cooked through.
Remove chicken from pan and keep warm.
Place cranberry sauce in pan and mix with wine, turn heat up and stir until mixture boils and slightly caramelises. Add cream & stir through.
Place chicken breast on plate and remove toothpicks, pour over sauce.
Serve with baked pumpkin, potato, corn cob and steamed seasonal greens.
The chicken can be prepared the night before and stored in the fridge to save time.

I tried this last night and wow - what a great dish. I substituted the baked vegies with beans, carrots, and broccoli which were cooked in with the chicken (just the last 5 minutes or so). The only thing I will do differently next time is also add some potatoes.

Kurt Fearnley: I was relief teaching in Blayney when I met Kurt as a young school boy. The first thing that struck me was his smile and contagious positive outlook at all times. I see nothing has changed with this outstanding Australian. Although I never saw him again, it is a testament to the power of his personality that I have not forgotten him more than 15 years later.
