Ingredients

• Servings: 4

• 3 tablespoons of chopped fresh basil
• 300 g creamy soft fresh goat cheese

• 3/4 teaspoon whole grain mustard
• 2 1/2 teaspoons dijon mustard
• 3/4 teaspoon chicken stock
• 3/4 cup cream
• 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped

Recipe

• 1 for the chicken.
• 2 pound chicken breasts with meat mallet to flatten slightly.
• 3 combine basil, onions and goats cheese, mix well. place a couple of spoonfuls of mixture in the centre of the chicken, spread out so you have the mixture running the length of the chicken top to bottom. i say a couple of spoonfuls, but just divide mixture among chicken breasts adjusting for larger or smaller breasts. each breast should have a generous amount of filling. wrap fillet over the mixture and wrap 2 slices of prosciutto around each breast this helps to stop all the cheese from running out as it melts.
• 4 pre-heat oven to 180c and bake for 50mins.
• 5 for the mushroom sauce.
• 6 melt butter in pan add mushrooms and garlic, cook stirring until mushrooms are soft and slightly browned.
• 7 add wine, both mustard's and stock stir until combined.
• 8 add cream, simmer uncovered until sauce has thicken slightly. stir in fresh chopped chives and serve immediatley.
• 9 to serve place chicken breast on plate pour sauce over. i serve this dish with a green salad when the weather is warm. i don't do a traditional green salad i add some bacon, avocado, cucumber and top with grated parmesan cheese and red onion serve with a creamy balsamic dressing. when it is cooler i serve with hot veg.
