I’ve always been fascinated by the Hassleback Potato. What a great way to inject flavor into a humble ingredient. On the heels of this popular recipe that originated in the Swedish hotel the Hasselbacken Hotel, I’m going to apply the same concept to a Chicken breast. Chicken Tikka is very popular. Chunks of Chicken are marinated, skewered with onion and green peppers and cooked in a tandoor. It can be eaten as is or made into a gravied Chicken Tikka Masala.

 

In this modern twist, I’m going to marinate the Chicken breast after I cut slits in the flesh and stuff it with onion, peppers and cheese before grilling it in my oven. The Chicken breasts cook up juicy and flavorful and is a great and healthy meal.

 

For this recipe, I’m using a stove top to oven pan as I like to get some colour at the bottom of my Chicken breast first before I finish it in the oven.
