2 x chicken breasts
2 x dessert spoon: mustard
2 x dessert spoon: honey
2 x tomatoes on the vine
1 x ball: Mozzarella cheese
Wild rocket
Baby new potatoes
Green salad
Pine nuts
75g: butter
Fresh parsley
Fresh Mint

Your favourite white wine & double cream (optional)

1) The Salad:
Slice the tomatoes & mozzarella. Layer them onto a side plate, and sprinkle finely cut mint, parsley & pine nuts over them. Store in the fridge.

2) Potatoes:
Boil slowly on a low heat for 20-25 minutes.

3) Chicken:
Dice it. Place in a pan on a medium heat.
[when half cooked add a serving spoon of cream and a splash of wine]
Stir in a spoonful of mustard, then the honey. After a minute or so do the same with the next spoonfuls. When stirred in, take off the heat and leave it.

4) Roast Potatoes:
The potatoes should be boiled. Drain them and put 75g of butter in a pan on a high heat. Add the potatoes and roughly beat them around the pan. They should get a bit bashed, soft and brown around the edges. Place in a dish in the oven at 200 degrees.

5) The Chicken again:
Place the chicken back on a high heat. Stir some wild rocket in for a few minutes and then serve onto a bed of green salad.

6) Serve:
The potatoes should be roasted. If not, place directly under the grill for a few minutes. Serve on the same plate as the chicken. Take the cheese & tomato salad from the fridge and serve alongside.

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; set aside. With a paring knife, cut a 1-inch-long slit in thick side of each breast. Insert knife, and without enlarging opening, carefully work around inside to form a pocket (make sure you do not go through the other side). On a cutting board, pile basil, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, zest, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; finely chop. Divide mixture evenly, and spoon into breast pockets, spreading it around. Insert one piece of cheese in each breast pocket.
2. Close pockets, using 2 to 3 toothpicks per breast; arrange, skin side up, on baking sheet. Rub with olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper. Roast until well browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of breast (avoiding bone) reads 165 degrees, 30 to 35 minutes. Let chicken rest 5 minutes; remove toothpicks before serving.

Ingredients for two people

● one whole chicken
● 300g coarse Maltese sausage (or substitute one coarse Bratwurst)
● fresh herbs (parsley, oregano, rosemary, thyme, or similar)
● 3 tbsp. olive oil
● sea salt
● freshly ground pepper

Preparation

First wash the chicken, blot dry, cut into breasts and legs, and rub with salt and pepper. Remove the covering from the sausage; mix the sausage with the finely chopped herbs, sea salt, and pepper.
Fill the breasts with part of this mixture and roll them up. Bake the chicken breasts in an oven preheated to 180° Celsius (356° Fahrenheit) for about 20 minutes.
Fill the chicken legs with the rest of the sausage mixture and fry in olive oil until crispy.
Keep everything warm.

Button mushroom sauce
Ingredients

● 300g button mushrooms (champignons)
● 1 large onion
● cognac
● 100ml cream
● 50g butter
● 2 tbsp. olive oil
● sea salt
● pepper directly from a pepper mill

Preparation

Heat butter and oil in a frying pan and lightly sauté the onion. Add the mushrooms and briefly braise. Quench with a little cognac and add the cream. Season with salt and pepper. Let everything cook another 5 minutes or so.
Mediterranean vegetables

Ingredients

● 500g vegetables (bell peppers, tomatoes, eggplant)
● 1 onion
● 3 tbsp. olive oil
● sea salt
● pepper directly from a pepper mill

Preparation

Cut the vegetables and the onion into thin strips. Heat the oil in a pan. First sweat the onions, then add the vegetables. Braise everything together briefly, not so long that the vegetables lose their crispness. Season with salt and pepper.
Now cut the chicken breasts like strudel and arrange with the chicken wings, mushroom sauce, and vegetables.
Bon appetit!
