HAM AND CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Insert a paring knife into the thickest part of each chicken breast to make a 3-inch-long pocket down the side, cutting in about halfway. Rub the insides of the pockets with 1 tablespoon of the mustard for all 4 breasts. Stuff each breast with 2 half slices of ham and 1 slice of provolone, folding them to fit. Rub both sides of the chicken breasts with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes per side depending on the thickness of the chicken; reduce the heat to medium if the chicken becomes too dark towards the end of the cooking time. Cover the skillet with a lid or a piece of aluminum foil during the last 3 minutes of cooking time to finish cooking the chicken through to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. Check the temperature at the thickest part of the breast without stuffing.
• Transfer the chicken to 4 plates or a cutting board and add the chicken broth and remaining 1 tablespoon mustard to the skillet. Cook, whisking, over medium-high heat until the sauce has reduced by about half, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and swirl in the butter and chopped herbs.
• Depending on the size of the breasts, either put 1chicken breast on each of 4 plates or slice all the breasts and divide among 6 plates. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve with Crispy Sliced Roasted Potatoes on the side.

HAM, POTATO & CHEESE STUFFED LOAF

Steps:

• Tip the bread mix into a large bowl and stir in the mustard powder, then make up following pack instructions. Cover with oiled cling film and leave to rise in a warm spot for 45 mins-1 hr until doubled in size.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, add potatoes and cook for 10-12 mins until tender. Drain, leave in a colander until cool enough to handle, then peel off skins and chunkily dice.
• Mix the crème fraîche, cheddar and parsley, then season really well.
• Roll out just under half the dough on a floured surface to a 25cm circle - it's easier to use a rolling pin and stretch it with your hands at the same time. Lift onto a floured baking sheet that will fit into the freezer. Evenly pile the potatoes on top, leaving a good 2-3cm border. Dot half the crème fraîche mixture on. Follow with the spring onions, then the ham, then dot remaining crème fraîche mixture all over the top. Roll out remaining dough as you did the first, to a little bit bigger than 25cm. Brush the border of the bottom of the pie with water, then lift the top onto the pie. Trim if you need, then press and roll up the border edge to seal. Do this all the way around, then press with the prongs of a fork to really seal it well. The pie is now ready to freeze, brush some cling film with a little oil and wrap it up well. Freeze for up to 2 months or, if cooking immediately, bake the stuffed loaf for 1 hr at 180C/ 160C fan /gas 4 until golden
• Cooking from frozen: Bring the pie out of the freezer in the morning and leave at room temperature for about 3 hrs.
• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Brush the frozen pie with beaten egg, scatter with a little more cheese if you like, and cover with foil. Bake for 1 hr, then remove the foil and bake for 1 hr more until golden and crisp - poke a skewer into the middle and check it's piping hot all the way through.
