Description
This feta-stuffed chicken tastes like it belongs at a restaurant, but – with 30 mins and just 11 ingredients, including juicy chicken, crunchy walnuts and sweet cherries – it'll be the star of your dinner table.
Method
Step 1 of 4
Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Grease and line a baking tray with baking paper. Zest 1 orange, then juice both oranges. Combine orange zest, cream cheese and feta in a bowl. Add breadcrumbs and stir to combine. For each chicken breast, place chicken, breast-side down, on a chopping board. Using a small sharp knife cut into chicken breast at thickest part, diagonally, to create a pocket, and open out to sit flat. Top with 2 tbs cream-cheese mixture. Fold chicken to enclose filling. Secure with toothpicks. Repeat with remaining chicken and cream-cheese mixture.
Step 2 of 4
Heat 1 tbs oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 1-2 minutes or until browned all over. Transfer to prepared tray. Bake for 10 minutes or until cooked. Wipe pan clean.
Step 3 of 4
Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in same frying pan. Add sage and cook for 2 minutes or until slightly crisp. Cool sage in oil. Strain into a bowl. Combine cherries, walnuts, and crispy sage leaves in a bowl. Combine cooled sage oil and orange juice in a jug.
Step 4 of 4
Place couscous in a heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water. Cover and stand for 3 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Stir with a fork to separate grains. Add spinach and toss to combine. Season. Spoon couscous onto plates. Top with chicken and cherry salsa. Serve with sage-orange oil.
