Don't forget to pour the chicken juices all over the potato crush!

INGREDIENTS
3 garlic cloves, peeled
3 tbsp chopped fresh flatleaf parsley

3 strips of roasted peppers in oil, drained, each cut in half

METHOD
1. Heat oven to 200 degree C. Soften the garlic in a little simmering water for 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and chop. Mix with the parsley and 1 tbsp of oil.
2. Make 3 deep diagonal slits across each breast. Reseve half the garlic mixture and spread the rest over the chicken and into the slit.
3. Halve each cheese slice and tuck two halves, a pieces of pepper, and some thyme into each slit. Season and bake in an oiled shallow dish for 30 minutes, until chicken is cooked.
