Melanie's Hasselback Chicken Stuffed with Blue Cheese, Sundried Tomato & Chilli

There are sooo many different chicken recipes and so I decided to try Hasselback Chicken Breasts. This is one I’ve tried for the first time fooling around with my new Air Fryer. It was a unanimous success. I served with a home made Monkey Gland sauce, crisp Potato Wedges and some Gem Squash.

3 large chicken breasts (on the bone) (we’re only 3 in the family so adjust according to needs)

100 gr sundried tomatoes in oil

Black pepper
Chicken spice

¼ tsp ground cumin
1 tblsp soya sauce
1 tblsp honey
1 tsp grainy mustard
1 clove minced garlic
1 tblsp red wine cider vinegar
1 tblsp olive oil
(Mix everything together)
Method:
Slice the breasts 1 cm apart.
With a sharp knife chop the cheese, sundried tomatoes and chili on a chopping board all together till well mixed.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper and chicken spice.
Brush paste all over and refrigerate for half an hour.
Air Fry at 180 degrees on lower rack for about 20-25 minutes, basting in between.
