Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts, skin removed

125g sliced mozzarella

100g chopped sundried tomatoes

Small handful of basil leaves

100g fresh white breadcrumbs

2 tbsp grated parmesan

1 lemon, grated zest only

75g seasoned flour

2 eggs, beaten

2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

STEP 1

Make an incision into the side of each breast, and stuff each with 1 of the mozzarella, tomatoes and 3 basil leaves. Season well. Mix together the breadcrumbs with the parmesan and lemon zest, then season and spread onto a tray. Roll the stuffed breasts in seasoned flour, dip into the beaten egg and roll in the tray of crumbs. Chill in the fridge for 20 mins.

STEP 2

Preheat the oven to 180C. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the breaded breasts for 4 mins on each side, or until just golden. Transfer to the oven and bake for 20 mins, then serve with green beans and new potatoes or chips.
