Brie, Apricot and Walnut Stuffed Chicken Breast
This recipe combines parsley and thyme to create a beautifully light stuffed chicken breast dish. We would recommend serving with dauphinoise potatoes and lightly grilled purple sprouting broccoli. These also taste great cold if you are making a picnic or wanting a delicious work lunch the next day.

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 160°C/140°C Fan/Gas Mark 3.

To make the stuffing, place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well with your hands.
Step 3
Make sure you get lots of flavour into the stuffing (season to taste). Add more herbs if required.
