Hasselback Chicken

Impress your dinner guests with this simple hasselback chicken dish, featuring juicy chicken breasts stuffed with ricotta, spinach, and cheddar cheese.

Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the spinach on a medium heat in a splash of oil for 3-5 minutes until it is slightly wilted.

2. 2

   Stir in the ricotta and cook for a further 30-60 seconds. Allow to cool.

3. 3

   Cut slits into the chicken breasts about 1cm (½ inch) apart but don’t cut all the way through - about 75% of the way down is what you should aim for.

   Stuff all of the spinach and ricotta mixture into the slits.

5. 5

   Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

6. 6

   Grate the cheddar and sprinkle it generously on top.

7. 7

   Shake the ground paprika over the chicken to add some colour and flavour.

8. 8

   Bake in the centre of a pre-heated oven for 20-25 minutes 400°F (200°C) until the cheese has melted and the juices are clear.

9. 9

   Enjoy!
