Ingredients
- 4 x Waitrose Chicken Breast Fillets
- 24 x Fresh sweet chestnuts, peeled and skinned
- 30 ml Waitrose Walnut Oil, (2tbsp)
- 175 gm Portabellini organic mushrooms, finely minced (6oz)
- 2 x Salad onions Salt and freshly grnd black pepper
- 4 x Rashers rindless streaky bacon
- 200 ml Creme fraiche, (7fl ounce)
Directions
- Open out the thickest part of the chicken fillets with a sharp knife.
- Flatten the fillets with the heel of your hand.
- Drop the chestnuts into boiling water for 2 min, then drain, refresh with cool water, dry and chop each one into 3-4 pcs.
- Heat 15ml (1tbsp) walnut oil in a pan, add in the mushrooms and onions and fry gently for 4 min. Stir in about a third of the minced chestnuts and season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the mix between the chicken fillets. Roll up and wrap a rasher of bacon around each fillet. Put on a lightly oiled, shallow baking tray, brush the tops with walnut oil and roast in a preheated oven 190 C, 375 F, gas mark 5 for 35 min.
- Remove from the oven, drain the cooking juices into the pan and leave the chicken to rest. Add in the creme fraiche to the pan with 5ml (1tsp)
- walnut oil and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to simmering point, stir in the remaining chestnuts and bubble for 3 min. Cut the chicken into 2cm ( 1/2") thick slices and serve with the sauce. Serve with matchsticks of leeks fried till they begin to colour.
- NOTES : Sweet, soft chestnuts go well with mushrooms and walnut oil in this delicious autumn recipe. As chestnuts contain so much starch and so little oil, they are treated as a vegetable and must be boiled or possibly roasted before being eaten. To shell and peel a chestnut: cut an X on the flat side and roast in a shallow pan for 20 min. Allow to cold, then use a sharp knife to remove the shell and skin.
