I love stuffed chicken breasts, especially as they are so easy to cook in my halogen oven.
My favourite at the moment is pesto with pine nuts and Parmesan cheese then wrapped in bacon

I prefer boning the thighs and using them, moist and more flavour.

I do my chicken breasts with the recipe below, but often stuff them (horizontal cut) with slivers of sundried tomatoes, or roast capsicum, or pesto as well.

Magic Mayo Moist chicken breasts
(prepare ahead, leave in the fridge until you put the oven on to preheat).
Ingredients:
* 1 cup mayonnaise (you can use plain Greek yogurt in place of the mayo, for a healthier option, or half and half - I often use a good aioli egg mayo)
* 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (halve recipe for 2 people)
* 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
* ½ -1 teaspoon seasoning salt (or Italian, or your choice)
* ½ teaspoon black pepper
* 1 teaspoon garlic powder
* Optional: ½ cup mozzarella, sprinkle panko or other crumbs)

Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise (or yogurt if substituting), cheese, and the seasonings of your choice (other options below)..
2. Preheat oven to 160 deg C (375 deg F)..
3. Put the chicken breasts into a baking dish, tucking thin ends underneath.
4. Spread the mayo mixture evenly on top of each chicken breast, sprinkle with crumbs, if using.
5. Bake in the preheated oven or airfryer, for about 35-45 minutes, or until cooked through. (test with skewer for clear juices from thickest part).
6. Serve warm, with noodles, potatoes or similar, plus a salad.
7. The chicken stays moist with the topping, so no need to cover.

My boyfriend insists on using cream cheese, pesto and whatever vegetables are in the fridge - I’m going to have to tell him soon that it’s too rich for me but at least he’s cooking so I should be grateful

I used to do this with a whole boned chicken but now use chicken breasts. 6 dried apricots soaked for at least 2 hours in orange juice. Mix wholegrain mustard with cream cheese, add the drained apricots and stuff breats.. Wrap in bacon and roast/. I make gravy and add the orange juice into the gravy. Sorry it is a hit and miss recipe cannot find the one written down.
