👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure oven is fully preheated before placing chicken inside.
2
In a bowl, combine the ground lamb, diced feijoas, minced shallot, chopped rosemary, thyme, 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
💡 전문가 팁: Do not overmix the lamb mixture.
3
Butterfly the chicken breasts by cutting them horizontally almost in half, creating a pocket. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
💡 전문가 팁: Alternatively, make a deep slit into the thickest part of each breast.
4
Spoon the lamb and feijoa mixture evenly into the pocket of each chicken breast. Close the chicken breast to enclose the filling.
💡 전문가 팁: If not using bacon, secure the chicken breast with toothpicks to keep the filling inside.
5
Heat the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
⏱️ 6 minutes
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the chicken for a good sear.
6
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
⏱️ 30 minutes
💡 전문가 팁: Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
7
Remove from oven, let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
