Ingredients
-
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
-
1 tablespoon butter (softened but not melted)
-
1 -2 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
-
1 teaspoon minced garlic (or more if you like)
-
camembert cheese (I used a double cream camenbert cut into strips to fit in the pocket)
-
2 tablespoons flour
-
1 cup panko breadcrumbs (Japanese breadcrumbs)
-
salt and pepper
-
1/4 cup white wine
-
olive oil flavored cooking spray or butter, for greasing baking dish
-
1 egg (lightly beaten)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180'C/350-375'F.
- Mix together the chopped basil, garlic and butter.
- Cut a deep cut along each chicken breast to make a pocket.
- Fill pockets with mixture and then place camenbert slices of top, pressing in well.
- Dust with a little flour and dip into the beaten egg.
- Add salt and pepper to the panko and stir.
- Roll breasts in the panko mix covering them well.
- At this stage you can either place in fridge for 30 minutes to set the crumbs or start cooking by placing the breasts in a greased or sprayed baking dish.
- Place in oven and bake for 15mins.
- Pour over the wine and continue baking for another 15 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked through.
