Cooking Steps
1
- Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Halve, peel and finely chop the shallot.
2
- Place a pan over medium-high heat with a knob of butter.
- When hot, add the shallot, half a sachet of dried thyme (per 2P) and half the garlic.
- Fry for 4-5 mins, then transfer to a bowl. Reserve the pan to use later.
- Add the breadcrumbs and 100ml water (per 2P) to the bowl.
- Mix well and season to taste with salt and pepper.
3
- Cut a pocket horizontally in the chicken breast. Season the inside with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
- Spoon the stuffing into the pocket. Season the outside of the chicken with salt and pepper. Drizzle with oil.
- Place the stuffed breasts onto a lined baking tray.
TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging used to keep it fresh.
4
- Trim the parsnip and halve lengthways (peeling optional). Chop into roughly 1cm wide, 5cm long batons.
- Trim the Brussels sprouts and halve through the root.
- Place the veg next to the chicken. Season with remaining garlic, salt, pepper and a drizzle of oil. Spread out in a single layer.
- Roast on the top shelf until tender, 20-25 mins. Turn the tray halfway through. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
5
- When the chicken and veg have been cooking for 15 mins, add the hazelnuts to the tray and return to the oven for remaining cooking time, 6-8 mins.
- Allow the nuts to cool and then bash or roughly chop.
- Return the now empty pan to medium-high heat with a knob of butter.
- Once hot, pour in the demi-glace and allow to warm through.
- Add a splash of water to loosen the sauce if necessary.
6
- Divide the stuffed chicken between plates and drizzle over the demi-glace sauce.
- Serve the roasted parsnips and sprouts on the side.
- Scatter the roasted hazelnuts over the top.
