Here is another quick and easy recipe that is also very impressive.  For those like me, who enjoy entertaining but do not have much time this is such a simple dish to do and it truly is delicious!

CAMEMBERT CHCIKEN

INGREDIENTS

• 4 chicken breasts
• 1 bunch chives, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic chopped or crushed

 METHOD

• Soften camembert cheese, add chopped chives and garlic.
• Mash together and place on glad wrap and roll into a log. Place in fridge for 10 minutes or so until the mixture hardens slightly
• Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket in each chicken breast. Place 1/4 of the hardened cheese mixture in each pocket, securing the opening with 2-3 toothpicks.
• Heat frying pan and melt butter, place chicken breasts in pan and brown either side for 8 minutes each.
• Reduce heat, pour wine over chicken, place lid on pan, and simmer for 40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
