    0.5 cups (88 g)
  • Frozen sliced onion
    0.5 cups (58 g)

Method

  1. Take each chicken breast and cut in hasselback style (slicing across the back but not all the way through) as per the video.

  2. Next sprinkle the paprika over the chicken breasts and rub in.

  3. Then in each slit of the chicken breast, stuff a slice of pepper, a slice of onion and a bit of the Mexican cheese.

  4. Ready for the freezer

    Wrap the chicken in foil parcels and place in a labelled freezer bag ready for whenever you need them.

  1. I have recently found myself living on my own and until I stumbled upon your you tube channel I have been eating takeaways and microwave meals but now my life is transformed due to your fantastic channel. I would just like to ask this, would it be possible to make and freeze a rich onion gravy ?

    1. I always defrosted my stuffed chicken breasts first, they cook much better than way. Hope that helps!

    1. Yes, I like to open them up slightly towards the end to allow the chicken to crisp up slightly
