Inside Out Chicken Kiev

Ingredients:

1 chicken breast per person
Garlic butter (I make mine with butter and garlic puree)
Breadcrumbs
Parmesan cheese (optional)

Method:

Rub the chicken with a little of the garlic butter. Place in a shallow oven-proof dish or baking tray.

Grill for approx 15 mins, turning once

Meanwhile, mix the rest of the garlic butter and breadcrumbs together, adding the cheese if using.

Remove the chicken from under the grill and smear the butter/breadcrumb mixture on the top of each chicken breast.

Pop back under the grill for about 3-4 mins so the topping goes crunchy and lightly browned.

Quick Microwave Chocolate Pudding

Ingredients

4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 oversize mug or glass jug

Method

Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly.

Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.

Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.

Put your mug in the microwave and cook for about 2mins 30secs on high power. The cake will rise right to the top of the mug/jug, but don't be alarmed! Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
