Sweet & spicy stuffed chicken breasts  recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • knob of fresh root ginger
  • 1 tsp cinnamon, plus a pinch extra
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 100g bulgur wheat
  • 25g sultanas
  • 20g pack coriander, leaves roughly chopped
  • 50g toasted flaked almonds
  • 4 boneless chicken breasts

Method

  • Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat the olive oil in a medium pan. Add the onion, garlic, ginger and some seasoning, and fry until soft, about 8 mins. Add 1 tsp cinnamon and the garam masala, then heat for 2 more mins. Cover the bulgur wheat and sultanas with water and boil for about 5 mins until soft, then drain any excess water. Add to the onion mixture, then add the coriander and almonds. Check seasoning.

  • Cut each chicken breast open so that it is flat like a book. Divide the stuffing between them and fold the top over. Rub the skins with a pinch of cinnamon. Place tightly packed into a small baking dish and bake for 25 mins. Serve the chicken with the rest of the mix alongside, with some green beans or a wintery veg salad.
