                     FILLED WITH
                     ROCKET AND CHEESE

 

 

 

Some years ago I was watching BBC Prime everyday. There were very good programs on  about cooking, home decorating and gardening. I  have to confess I learned many new things from them. For example I built a wooden deck in my garden after watched a program 'how to built a deck'. Unfortunately we can not  able to watch  all my favorite programs  from Turkey anymore.

Any way I got the  idea  of this recipe  from one of the cooking programs. The recipe  has been modified by me..... as usual.  Chicken breast is most healthy part of chicken  but  you have work on it to make tasty. For filling I use sorrel in the season instead of rocket.  You can use any spicy greens.  It can be made a day  ahead. Serve with any side dishes or rice.

INGREDIENTS:

3 chicken breasts fillet
FOR FILLING
200g- 7 oz cream cheese-Philly
1 small onion, grated
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons olive oil

salt and black pepper

1 cup shredded rocket or sorrel

PREPARATION



Cut chicken fillet into to two pieces, length way. Pound fillets between stretch film with meat mallet. Process  onion and garlic .Add shredded rocket or sorrel. Add cream cheese.

Season fillets with salt and pepper. Spread with filling, roll up tightly. Place onto a well greased baking dish. Brush with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Bake in the oven at 180C-375F for 45-50 minutes. First 30 min covered with foil , then remove foil and bake further 15 min or until lightly  browned and tender.
