Mustard Stuffed Chicken Ingredients:
- 125g ball of mozzarella, torn into small pieces
- 50g grated strong cheddar
- 1 tablespoon wholegrain mustard
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast fillets
- 8 rashers of smoked streaky bacon
How To Make Mustard Stuffed Chicken
Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan, gas mark 6). Combine the cheeses and mustard. Make a slit in the side of each chicken breast and fill with the mustard mixture. Wrap each stuffed chicken breast with 2 bacon rashers, ensuring they’re snug but not overly tight. Season the chicken, place on a baking sheet, and roast for 20-25 minutes.
Recipe Notes:
Create a deep pocket in each chicken breast to hold the cheesy mustard filling securely.
Mix creamy cheese (like cream cheese or mozzarella) with wholegrain or Dijon mustard until smooth and well-blended.
Stuff each breast generously with the cheese-mustard mix for maximum flavor.
Wrap each stuffed chicken breast with bacon strips to seal the filling and add smoky richness.
Bake in a preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through and bacon is crisp.
Let the chicken rest briefly before slicing to preserve juiciness.
Serve with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced and satisfying meal.
