Maggie Beer and Luke Mangan’s Mustard Pear Chicken Breast recipe
INGREDIENTS
800g (2 x 400g) large free range chicken breast, skin on
1/4 cup Dried Mustard Pears
1/4 cup unsalted butter
2 tbspn flat leaf parsley chopped
METHOD
Preheat a fan forced oven to 200C. Place the mustard pears, butter and parsley into a mixing bowl and combine well.
To stuff the breast, gently place your finger between the skin and the flesh to create a pocket, divide the pear mixture in half, then using your fingers or a teaspoon, stuff the mixture under the skin. Repeat with the second breast, then season well with a good pinch of salt.
Place a medium non-stick pan over a high heat, pour in the olive oil, then place the breast, skin side down, into the pan and fry for 5 minutes or until golden brown.
Transfer to a baking tray and place into the preheated oven to bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 8 minutes, then carve into large slices and serve with garden greens or bitter salad leaves.
