ingredients
- 6 chicken breasts, with skin on
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1⁄2 ounce butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh breadcrumbs
- 18 red seedless grapes, quartered
- 12 pecans, roughly chopped
- 1 orange, zested and juiced
- 2 tablespoons tarragon, chopped
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges to serve
directions
- Heat the oven to 350°F Make a sideways cut into each breast so you can fold the top half back like a book. Bat each side out slightly with a rolling pin to make the meat a bit thinner.
- Fry the onion in a little butter until soft then stir in the breadcrumbs, grapes, pecans, orange zest and tarragon and season.
- Divide the stuffing between the chicken breasts and fold the skin side of the chicken back over the filling. Smear a little butter over the skin and move carefully to a shallow roasting tin (a deep one will steam rather than roast them).
- Roast for 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin crisp and golden.
- Drizzle with orange juice and serve with juices from the tin and lemon wedges.

I live in Manchester, UK with my fiance and young son. I work at the local hospital in pediatrics and love my job. I also love cooking!! I have a sweet tooth but try and make healthy family meals, I'm not against some lovely treats now and then though :)
