Method
- Heat the oven to 190°C/170°C fan/gas 5. Mix the cream cheese in a bowl with the chopped fresh tarragon, the orange zest and a pinch of salt. Slice the chicken breasts lengthways horizontally (don’t go all the way through), then open out like a book.
- Divide the cream cheese mix among the breasts, then fold over to seal. Take 4 slices of parma ham and wrap one around each stuffed breast.
- Toss the baby carrots and baby leeks with the orange juice, sherry vinegar, honey, wholegrain mustard and seasoning in a roasting tray. Put the chicken on top, brush with a little olive oil and roast for 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Serve with new potatoes, if you like.
