How to make chicken juicier and tastier

  • One tbsp wholegrain mustard
  • Four skinless boneless chicken breast fillets
  • Eight smoked streaky bacon rashers

Method

Preheat the oven to 200C (180C for fan ovens) or gas mark six.

In a bowl, combine the cheeses with the mustard until evenly mixed. Using a sharp knife, slice into the side of each chicken breast to create a pocket, then fill the pocket with the cheese and mustard blend.

Take two strips of bacon and wrap them around each filled chicken breast, ensuring they’re secure but not overly tight.

Lightly season with salt and pepper, arrange on a baking tray, and bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Serve while still hot, alongside a green salad or roast potatoes.
