  • 1 ounce salted butter (30g)

  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 3 tbsp chopped Mint
  • Salt & pepper

Instructions

  • Put the butter in a hot pan with a splash of oil.  When the butter is foaming, add in the chicken breasts, skin side down, fry for 5 mins until the skin is golden.  Pop them to one side.
  • In a small bowl mix the cream cheese, lime zest and mint.  Add a little salt and about a teaspoon of cracked black pepper.  Mix well.
  • Cut horizontally through the middle of each breast, about ¾ of the way. Salt and pepper the inside.  Add in the cream cheese mixture into the breasts and fold back over (its fine if some oozes out!).
  • Take some cling film at wrap around the chicken and twist and secure the ends - it should resemble a sausage.  Put in fridge until ready to cook.
  • Put a small amount of water to the boil, pop in a steamer and add the chicken parcels.  Lid on for 12 mins.  Once the chicken is done, let it rest for about 6 mins.  When you unwrap the chicken, keep the sauces and you can use drizzle this on top of the chicken if you like.
