Take a trip down memory lane with this new take on the classic crumbed chicken.

2 tsp chopped thyme
2 garlic cloves, chopped
100g Taleggio, rind removed, chopped
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
4 x 180g chicken breast fillets
3/4 cup (50g) fresh breadcrumbs
1/4 cup (20g) grated parmesan
1 egg, lightly beaten
30g butter, melted
1/3 cup (80ml) olive oil
250g vine-ripened cherry tomatoes

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 180°C. Combine thyme, garlic, Taleggio and 1 tbs parsley, and season. Cut a deep pocket lengthways in the thickest part of each fillet and fill with Taleggio mixture. Secure with toothpicks.
2.

Combine breadcrumbs, parmesan and remaining 2 tbs parsley, then season. Place egg in a shallow bowl. Dip chicken first in egg, then crumbs and place in a greased baking dish. Combine butter and oil, then pour over chicken. Bake for 25 minutes.
3.

Add tomatoes and bake for 5 minutes or until starting to soften and chicken is cooked. Remove toothpicks, then serve.
