.@Anahaugh stuffed roast chicken breast & mushrooms @SaturdayKitchen

Anna Haugh’s meat feast medley combines sausagemeat stuffing, pancetta and chicken breast, all in one neat parcel.
Ingredients
For the potatoes
For the stuffed chicken
- 200g/7oz sausagemeat
- 1 large sprig parsley, finely chopped
- 50g/1¾oz hazelnuts, roughly chopped
- 4 skinless chicken breasts, sliced horizontally to create a pocket in the thickest part of the breast
- 12 slices smoked pancetta
- salt
For the mushroom sauce
- 100g/3½oz salted butter, plus extra to finish the sauce
- 1 garlic clove, roughly chopped
- 10 sage leaves
- 450g/1lb girolle mushrooms, cleaned
- 200ml/7fl oz chicken stock
Method
- Preheat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5.
- Bring a pan of water to the boil, add the potatoes and cook for 10 minutes until par-boiled, not fully cooked through. Remove and allow to cool whilst you prepare the rest of the dish.
- Combine the sausagemeat, hazelnuts and parsley in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
- Divide the sausagemeat filling between the pockets in each chicken breast. Season the chicken with a pinch of salt and roll each chicken breast in 3 slices of pancetta. Place the chicken breasts on a baking tray and bake for 10–15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the breast. When the chicken is cooked through, remove from the oven and rest for 5 minutes.
- Grate the par-boiled potatoes on a box grater. Meanwhile, put a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, then the grated potato, garlic powder, onion powder and a pinch of salt and fry until golden.
- In a separate pan, melt the butter and add the garlic and sage leaves. Fry until the leaves are wilted, then add the mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Cook for 1–2 minutes until golden.
- Add the chicken stock and reduce to a sauce consistency. You can add an extra knob of butter to finish the sauce, if you like.
- To serve, place the fried potato on a serving plate. Carve the chicken and arrange on top, finishing with the mushroom sauce.

Each serving provides 620 kcal, 8.5g protein, 86g carbohydrate (of which 74g sugars), 27g fat (of which 7.5g saturates), 2g fibre and 0.4g salt.
Ingredients
For the chocolate mousse
- 300g/10½oz silken tofu, drained
- 150g/5½oz vegan dark chocolate, broken into pieces
- 1 vanilla pod, seeds only
- ½ tsp ground star anise
- 2 tbsp treacle
- agave syrup, to taste
- 20g/¾oz toasted flaked almonds, to serve
For the honeycomb
- 100g/3½oz caster sugar
- 100g/3½oz glucose syrup
- 2 tbsp golden syrup
- pinch bicarbonate of soda
For the apricots
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 dried apricots
- 1 star anise
- pinch sugar
Method
- Put the tofu, ground star anise, vanilla seeds, treacle and agave syrup into a large bowl and blend with a hand blender until silky smooth.
- Melt the chocolate in a heatproof glass bowl sat over a saucepan of simmering water, being careful not to let the bowl touch the water. Fold into the tofu. Spoon the mixture between 4 glasses and refrigerate until set.
- To make the honeycomb, line a baking tray with baking paper. Put the sugar, glucose and golden syrup into a deep saucepan and heat until it reaches 145C. (This should take about 5 minutes). Quickly whisk in the bicarbonate of soda. Be careful as the mixture will bubble up very suddenly. Quickly pour onto the lined baking tray. Set aside to cool and harden.
- To make the apricots, heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the apricots and star anise and cook until the apricots start to caramelise. Sprinkle over a pinch of sugar and leave to cool.
- To serve, sprinkle the toasted almonds on top of the mousse and serve with the apricots and peices of honeycomb.
