Lemon and Herb Stuffed Chicken

As part of my 101 challenge I am trying out at least one new recipe each week.

This week's recipe comes from a Woman's Day magazine cut out that I had put away for safe keeping yonks ago.  Here is the recipe and some photos of my little journey through and my final product.

Lemon and Herb Stuffed Chicken

Ingredients;
 1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs
1/4 cup finely grated parmesan
1T chopped basil
1T chopped parsley
2T of oil
Zest of 1 lemon (finely grated)
4 chicken breasts, skin on

Method;
 1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees celcius.  Line a baking try with baking paper.


2. Mix together breadcrumbs, parmesan, basil, parsley, half the oil and lemon zest until well combined.


3. Press mixture under skin of chicken breast using a teaspoon (I did not have the skin on my chicken breasts so just made a cut to put the mixture in).

4.  Heat remaining oil in a large fry pan on high.  Cook chicken on each side for 2-3 minutes until golden.  Place on prepared tray and bake for 10-12 minutes until cooked through.

The chicken was a hit.  Even with my husband who proclaimed on finding out what we were having for dinner, "I don't really like lemon in stuff aye...".  I had mine with a big dollop of cranberry sauce and it was choice as!
