Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Slit the top of the chicken breasts to make a pocket. Stuff each pocket generously with garlic butter, and enclose tightly.
  2. Season the chicken breasts and dust both in plain flour, then dip in a bowl containing the egg and harissa. Finally, roll in the breadcrumbs and Parmesan.
  3. Place the breaded chicken breasts on a lightly oiled baking tray and roast in the oven for 25 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Serve with a green salad and coleslaw.
