Vickys Scottish Chicken Balmoral
- 4 large chicken breasts
- 200 grams haggis - see my link below
- 1 small shallot
- 150 ml single cream or coconut cream
- 1 tsp black peppercorns, some slightly crushed
- 1 tsp whisky or add to taste
- Preheat the oven to gas 5 / 190C / 375F.
- Make a slice into the bottom of each chicken breast, being careful not to go right through, to form a cavity
- Stuff the space in the chicken breasts with 50g of haggis for each chicken breast.
- To prevent the chicken splitting during cooking secure each chicken breast with a couple of cocktail sticks
- Seal the chicken on all sides in a frying pan with a little oil.
- Place onto a baking tray, season with some salt & pepper and cook covered with foil for 35 minutes, then another 5 minutes uncovered until cooked through and juices run clear
- Meanwhile, finely chop the shallot and fry off in the pan you sealed the chicken in.
- Soften it but don't let it colour.
- Stir in the cream, peppercorns and whisky and cook for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Serve the chicken with seasonal vegetables and the sauce poured over
