CHICKEN FILLETS STUFFED WITH CHEESE AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES

I came across the recipe couple of years ago in one of the magazines and it has been a regular ''visitor'' on our table.Great idea for a quick dinner.
This chicken is simple and full of flavor. Smoky taste of Parma ham goes so well with rich sweetness of sun-dried tomatoes and melting cheese.Beautiful!!!

RECIPE:

SERVES 5

INGREDIENTS:

5 chicken fillets
5 sun-dried tomatoes
5 stripes of cheese (edam or gouda)
5 slices of Parma ham
olive oil mixed with dried oregano,dried basil and crushed garlic(2 cloves) - I use the olive oil from the sun-dried tomatoes, which is already with garlic and herbs

1.Preheat the oven to 200 C/ 180 C fan /Gas 6.Cut a horizontal slit through the thickest portion of each chicken breast to form a pocket.(be careful not to cut it through).

2.Fill each pocket with one stripe of cheese and one sun-dried tomato.

3.Grease each fillet with olive oil using a brush.Season with freshly ground pepper(Salt is not necessary as cheese and Parma ham is already quite salty).

4.Wrap in Parma ham and put into an oven dish.Bake for 35 minutes.
