Ingredients
- 1 kg boneless Exceldor chicken breasts, butterflied
- 3/4 cup basil pesto
- Olive oil
- About 200g Brie Le Connaisseur cheese, cut into wedges
- Salt and pepper from the mill
Preparation
- Place the chicken breasts in a large, airtight dish and add the pesto. Pour a little olive oil, season with salt and pepper and mix well. It is important to coat the chicken with the marinade! Reserve in the fridge for 3 hours.
- When there is 1 hour remaining for the chicken, place the cheese wedges in the freezer for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 400 °F.
- Stuff the chicken breasts with the semi-frozen cheese and close well with toothpicks or string. Place on a baking tray, open side up, and put in oven. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink. Serve with rice, Israeli couscous or salad!

A nice moment awaits you with this white from Australia, whose blend, almost equally, is composed of Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Roussane and Marsanne. The nose is complex. It is reminiscent of citrus fruits, pineapple, with a little floral side in the end. The mouth has a certain vivacity, brilliance and exoticism, in short everything to be the perfect match with these stuffed chicken breasts!
