Chicken Breast Recipe
This recipe requires chicken breast as the breast is stuffed with the blue cheese. You need to slice down the middle of the breast from the edge to create a pocket to put the cheese in the middle. It doesn’t matter if it starts to ooze out. the is part of the delight of this dish!
Mustard And Cream
The chicken is then spread with whole grain mustard of your choice. How much you use really depends on how much you love mustard but I would recommend about a level teaspoon per chicken breast.
You can use single or double cream for this recipe -whichever you have in your fridge or can buy. In these days of lockdown it is best not to be too fussy over recipes but improvise with what you have in your cupboards. If you have a choice then single cream is probably best.
Blue Cheese
Any blue cheese is suitable for this recipe – stilton, Danish Blue, Roquerfort, Gorgonzola – really which ver you can get, like and is most economical.
