-Slice the chicken breasts in half
-Mix half the cheese with 2 teaspoons of cayenne pepper & 3 squirts of Garlic
-spoon this mixture into the chicken breasts & close them back over
-Wrap two slices of parma ham round each chicken piece & tie with string to keep in one piece.
-Pour gravy into a large casserole dish / slow cooker add 4 squirts of garlic and the remainder of the cheese mixture
-Add the tied up chicken breasts
-cook on at 150 Degrees for 45mins or if using the slow cooker just a low setting for 5.5hrs
-When ready remove the string from the chicken and serve!


I don't know what makes this all so magical but it is darn good!

I made it while playing around one day & everyone always asks how i did it, The Cayenne pepper packs a great punch. It's my speciality - So good that hubby asks that i make it for his birthday meal every year instead of take away - what a compliment

My fave dish ever!!!

This is one of my quick recipes:

Put a layer of sliced eggplants in a pan, a slice of fresh tomatoes on each eggplant, and top that with feta cheese. Drizzle some olive oil, salt (just a little because the cheese has enough salt) and pepper, and put it in the oven for about half an hour at 200 Celsius.

Yummy, fast and easy!

Going to sound daft now but hey ho! Is Eggplant the same as Aubergine?

 

[Vanessa]

Yes they are the same thing, not sure why the different names though!

lol
"Aubergine" is actually a french word that means... Eggplant!
No matter how you call it, though (the greek word is "melitzana"), this dish is delish!

As an alternative i have a super fat Carbonara

1 huge tub of double cream
1 tub of pancetta bacon
1 packet of spaghetti
garlic paste
some cheese (i dunno how much x)

Boil pasta in pot
Fry bacon pieces with a few squirts of garlic
Add tub of cream & leave to simmer till pasta is ready
Add a little cheese and stirr through sauce should be nice and thick now

Then add to pasta!

To make it extra special make the sauce the day before and leave it in the fridge I dunno what happens to the cream but it tastes a million times better the next day
