This delicious recipe takes our organic chicken breast to the next level, stuffing it with a rich and creamy mixture of ricotta, spinach and mushroom to make for a mouthwatering dish.
Ingredients
- 2 organic chicken breasts (skin on)
- 1 onion (diced)
- 2 cloves of garlic (minced)
- 50g of chestnut mushrooms
- 1 handful of spinach (chopped finely)
- 1tbsp olive oil
- 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
- 2 knobs of butter
Directions
- Preheat oven to 180°C and warm the oil in a frying pan. Then add your onions and garlic and sauté for around 2 minutes, until the onions have begun to soften.
- Add the mushrooms and continue to sauté for a further 2 minutes before stirring in the spinach and seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool in a bowl. Once the mixture has cooled add the ricotta and stir until everything is nicely combined, the set aside.
- Prepare your chicken breasts by slicing them through the middle under the skin to create a ‘pocket’ with one side left intact.
- Take your ricotta mixture and evenly split it between the two breasts, stuffing it into the pocket of each.
- Place your stuffed chicken breasts on a parchment lined baking tray, seasoning with salt and pepper and topping each with a knob of butter, then transfer to the oven and bake for 30 minutes on the top shelf.
- Serve with your favourite seasonal veggies and potatoes and enjoy!
