Chicken Paprika
This was a recipe I tagged in a game that I am involved in on Recipezaar, I shall place a link below. The original recipe did call for chicken breasts with skin on and bone in, as I can not get those here I made with spatchcocks (baby chickens). I used 2 tablespoons of butter and 4 cloves of garlic for 2 chickens. It was way piggy, but when it came time to cut into the birds they just oozed garlic butter which was awesome. The chicken was beautifully moist and tender and the garlic flavour was gorgeous with every bite. This is such a super simple easy recipe to make and it tastes fabulous.

Ingredients

4 Chicken breast halves (with skin on)
4 Teaspoons butter
2 Garlic cloves (crushed, in garlic press or minced)
Paprika

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180 degree Celsius.

2. Mix butter and garlic together.

3. Gently pull skin back on the chicken breast but do not remove. Spread 1/4 of butter/garlic mixture over meat.

4. Pull skin back over, sprinkle paprika on the top of the skin, then place breasts on a baking tray lined with baking paper (don’t need baking paper if using breasts on the bone).

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 with other 3 breasts.

6. Put in the oven and bake for 30 minutes (35 to 40 if on the bone).

Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto and Feta Stuffed Chicken Breasts
This a very simple recipe to throw together and it tastes delicious. I just served ours over a salad but it would also work sliced over pasta with a sauce.

Ingredients

2 Chicken Breasts
4 Sun-Dried tomatoes, sliced in half
3 Tablespoons sun-dried tomato pesto
80-100g Feta cheese, sliced (depending on size of breasts)
4-6 Slices prosciutto, to secure chicken (depending on the width of each slice)

Method

1. Pre-Heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

2. Slice breasts and open out, using a meat mallet pound breasts, until of approximate even thickness.

3. Spread pesto down center of each breast, place sliced sun-dried tomato down the center, top with feta, roll chicken breasts up and secure with prosciutto slices.

4. Place breasts in an oven proof dish, drizzle olive oil over breasts and bake for about 30-35 Min’s or until cooked through.
