Chicken with Gruyere and smoked garlic
Serves 4
Ingredients:
4 Chicken Breasts
8oz grated Gruyere
3-4 cloves of smoked garlic (or ordinary if no smoked)
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1oz butter
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt pepper
½ pt double cream
2 tbsp brandy
Method:
Butterfly the chicken (or cut a pouch), season with pepper and a little salt and fill with a few slices of garlic and some of the grated cheese and re-fold.
Heat the butter and oil in a frying pan and add the chicken. Cook chicken until done, turning once (10-12 minutes). Remove chicken onto warm plate and keep warm while making sauce.
Deglaze the pan with the brandy; add the cream and the rest of the grated cheese. Add cayenne pepper and season. Bring sauce to the boil and simmer for a few minutes, stirring regularly and serve over chicken.
