Ingredients

85g Paxo stuffing mix

215ml boiling water

4 chicken breasts

4 rashers of bacon

1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing or tray)

Optional: salt and black pepper for seasoning

Method

Prepare the Stuffing

Prepare the Paxo stuffing mix with boiling water according to pack instructions and leave to stand for 5 mins.

Stuff the Chicken

Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast. Spoon the stuffing evenly into each pocket, then secure with cocktail sticks if needed. Wrap each chicken breast with 2 rashers of bacon, covering the seam, and place onto a lightly oiled baking tray. Lightly season if desired.

Bake & Serve

Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C Fan / 190°C Electric / Gas Mark 5 for 30–35 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked, the bacon is crispy and the juices run clear with no pink remaining.

Serve with creamy mash and seasonal greens for a comforting meal, or with a fresh side salad for a lighter option.

Please note oven and air fryer timings may vary. Ensure the chicken is fully cooked and piping hot throughout before serving.
