It's time for another Pinch of Nom recipe and today's can be found in the original Pinch of Nom recipe book.

This Hunters Chicken recipe can be found in the the Bakes & Roasts chapter.

Let's get cooking!

Ingredients:

2 chicken breasts

2 bacon medallions

1/2 onion, diced

2 garlic cloves, crushed

1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes

1 tbsp tomato puree

juice of 1/2 lemon

1 tbsp BBQ seasoning

1/4 tsp paprika

1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

2 tbsp white wine vinegar

1 tbsp hot sauce

1 tsp mustard

1 tsp granulated sweetener

80g reduced-fat cheddar

There's 2 methods to cooking this dish which is in the oven or a slow cooker, I went with the oven method as it took less cooking time.

Pre-heat your oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas mark 4.

Wrap a bacon medallion around the middle of each chicken breast and secure with a cocktail stick.

Put all the remaining ingredients except for the cheese into an ovenproof casserole dish with a tight fitting lid.

Place the chicken on top, cover with the lid and cook in the oven for 1 hour.

When the time is up, check that the chicken is cooked. Remove it from the dish and set aside.

Blitz the sauce in the casserole dish with a rick blender until smooth.

Place the cooked chicken in an ovenproof dish and remove the cocktail sticks.

Pour the sauce over the chicken breasts and scatter over the cheese, dividing it equally amongst the chicken breasts.

Place under a hot grill until the cheese has melted and has a nice golden colour.

Once ready serve and enjoy.

I served it with corn on the cob and homemade chips.

All the flavours worked really well together and the chicken was still juicy, which is something that I can be a but hit or miss with.

I'd happily cook this again, but I think I'd allow the sauce to cool a little and blitz in a blender as I couldn't get it as smooth as I would have liked.

It's also  a really easy recipe to make as it's basically a throw it all in together and cook dish.

If you're interested in any of Pinch of Nom's recipe's then you can buy the recipe books in all major supermarkets as well as online retailers Waterstones and Amazon.

See you soon!
