Step 1: You will need...

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 40 g goat's cheese
  • 1 tbsp parsley
  • 1 tsp thyme, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 150 g button mushrooms, cut into quarters
  • 10 asparagus, cut in half and peeled
  • 1 garlic clove, sliced
  • 30 g butter
  • 1 tbsp sherry
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 pair of tongs
  • 1 tray
  • 2 spoons
  • 1 frying pan
  • A few tooth picks
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 small knife
  • 1 large knife
  • 1 barbecue, either charcoal or gas
  • 1 bottle of water to douse any flames

Step 2: Check the barbecue

If you have a charcoal barbeque light it 20-30 minutes before you plan to cook. It is ready when there are no more flames and the charcoal has turned white. If you are using a gas barbeque, light it up on high and leave it for 20 minutes.

Step 3: Make the cheese stuffing

In a bowl add the goat's cheese, half of the parsley, the thyme, the garlic and season with salt and pepper. Mash them together.Divide into two and form two plug shapes that later will fit in to the chicken pockets. Place it in the fridge to cool down.

Step 4: Prepare the chicken

Place the chicken breast on the cutting board. Cut a deep pocket horizontally into the centre of breast, three-quarters of the way down. Be careful not to cut through to the other side. Repeat for the other breast.

Step 5: Stuff the chicken

Insert the cheese plugs into the pockets and seal with the toothpicks. Drizzle some oil and season with salt and pepper and the left over parsley.

Step 6: Make the garnish

Heat the frying pan and add the butter and the mushrooms. Fry for few minutes. Add the asparagus, fry for another minute, then add the garlic. Season with salt and pepper, add the sherry, and remove from the heat.

Step 7: Barbecue the chicken

Place the chicken on the barbeque and cook each side for about 5 minutes.
Remove the chicken, and let it rest for 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 8: Final preparations

Place the chicken on a cutting board. Remove the toothpicks and slice each piece into three pieces.

Step 9: Serve

Place the sliced breast on the plate and spoon over the mushroom and asparagus garnish. This delicious chicken dish can be served as a main meal or cold in a salad with goat cheese.
