Lavender chicken



Chicken with lavender, bacon and cheese. Everyone appreciates lavender for its scent and flowers, but very few people have tasted it. Its unique flavor blends very well with chicken.

Ingredients                                Serves: 4


4 skinless boneless chicken breast fillets
8 rashers of bacon
12 sprigs fresh lavender
Chilli flakes, to taste

Salt and freshly ground black pepper
125g Cheddar cheese, grated


Preparation 

Prep: 10 minutes | Cook: 30 minutes

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C.

2. Place three sprigs of lavender on top of each chicken breast fillet. Wrap two slices of bacon around each piece of chicken keeping the lavender inside.

3. Place chicken into a shallow oven-proof dish. Season with salt, pepper and dried chilli flakes.

4. Position the baking dish on the top shelf in the preheated oven, and bake chicken for 20 minutes, turning once. Turn again so the lavender is on top, and sprinkle with grated cheese.

5. Continue baking 10 minutes, or until cheese has melted and chicken is no longer pink inside.
