Chicken and Ricotta Parcels

I made this to use up some ricotta that I had bought for a pasta bake and made a really tasty meal. I am definitely a fan of the simple dish and this is as easy as they come. I actually used guinea fowl instead of chicken and I served it with a cherry tomato and feta salad and some broccoli and beans. I also have to say that I baked it for 25 mins rather than grilled it as the recipe suggested making it even easier to make.

(Serves 4)

100g ricotta cheese
2 sprigs fresh rosemary or sage, chopped
1 shallot, chopped finely
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
240g dried tagliatelle
2 tbsp honey
1 tsp chilli powder or cayenne pepper
salt and pepper

In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with the chopped herbs, shallot and seasoning. Cut a deep slit in the side of the chicken breast and open out to form a pocket. Stuff each breast with a spoonful of the cheese mixture. Secure the pocket with a cocktail stick. Preheat the grill to high.

Bring a pa of water to the boil and cook the pasta according to the pack instructions. Drain.

Meanwhile, in a small pan, mix the honey and chilli powder or cayenne pepper and heat gently. Brush the chicken with the honey mixture and place under the hot grill for 7-8 mins or until cooked through. Remove the cocktail sticks before serving the chicken with the pasta.
