Ingredients
| 4 | chicken breasts, skin and bones removed |
| 200 g | Irish farm cheese |
| 100 g | breadcrumbs |
| 3 tbsp | mixed fresh herbs, chopped |
| 2 | eggs |
| salt and pepper | |
| 300 g | pasta |
| 50 g | butter |
Instructions
Pat dry the chicken breasts and, with a sharp knife, cut into each a pocket. Cut 4 slices from the cheese and grate the remaining cheese. Place into each pocket a slice of cheese. Press together firmly.
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
In a bowl, mix the grated cheese with the breadcrumbs and herbs and season with salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs in a shallow bowl. Turn the chicken breasts first in the egg mixture, then in the breadcrumb and herb mixture until well coated.
Line and butter a baking tray. Transfer the chicken breasts on the tray and bake for approximately 35 minutes.
In the meantime, cook the pasta in salted water until al dente. Drain and mix with the remaining butter.
Remove the chicken breasts from the oven, cut diagonally in slices and serve with the buttered pasta and e.g. with a green salad.
