How to Make St George's Chicken Parcels

  1. Gently remove the loose fillet from the underside of each chicken breast (approximately 6 oz each). Flatten both the fillet and the breast to about 1/4 inch thickness between sheets of plastic wrap using a rolling pin or meat mallet.
  2. Place a slice of cheese (approximately 2 oz) on each flattened chicken breast and top with the flattened fillet.
  3. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper. Wrap the chicken around the cheese, ensuring it's securely sealed.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  5. Cut 4 slices of bacon (about 8 oz total) in half lengthwise.
  6. Wrap 4 bacon halves around each chicken parcel lengthwise, ensuring the bacon overlaps slightly.
  7. Cut the remaining bacon slices in half crosswise.
  8. Arrange 2 of these bacon halves across each parcel to create a cross, securing with toothpicks.
  9. Place the parcels in a baking dish and roast for 30-40 minutes, basting halfway through with 2 tablespoons of melted butter, until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
