Method
- Preheat the oven to 220°C/fan200°C/gas 7. To make the filling, mix the soft cheese, crème fraîche, Parmesan, garlic, parsley and lemon zest together in a bowl.
- Carefully ease the skin away from one side of each breast, fill under the skin with the cheese mixture, then secure the skin with a couple of cocktail sticks. Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tbsp of the oil and season. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes until just
- cooked through and golden.
- Meanwhile, fry the bacon lardons in the remaining olive oil until crisp. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and blanch the cabbage for 2 minutes. Drain well, then add to the pan with the bacon, spring onion and a knob of butter. Fry for a couple of minutes more, seasoning with black pepper. Serve the cabbage and bacon alongside the stuffed chicken.
