Chicken with Creamy Courgette & Lime




Source of Recipe


British Chicken


List of Ingredients




Stuffing:
75g/ 3 oz courgette
75g/ 3 oz medium fat soft cheese
finely grated zest 1 lime
30ml/ 2 tbsp fresh breadcrumbs
salt and ground black pepper
2kg/4½ lb. oven ready British chicken
oil for brushing
225g/ 8 oz courgettes
25g/ 1 oz butter


Recipe



Set oven at 190oC/ 395oF/ Gas Mark 5
To make the stuffing, trim and coarsely grate
the courgette and mix with the cheese, lime
zest, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper.
Carefully ease the skin away from the breast of
the chicken with the fingertips, taking care not
to split it. Push the courgette stuffing under
the skin, to cover the breast evenly.
Place in a baking tin, brush lightly with oil and
roast in the oven for 20 minutes per 450g/ 1 lb
plus 20 minutes, or until the chicken juices run
clear.
Meanwhile, trim the remaining courgettes and
cut into long, thin strips with a potato peeler or
sharp knife. Sauté in the butter and lime juice
until just tender, then serve with the chicken.
Garnish with lime slices and shreds of lime
zest.

Serves 6.
