Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C with convection/gas 6. In a blender, blend 2 peeled garlic cloves, parsley and 1 tsp olive oil. Add the breadcrumbs and seasonings, pulse briefly to mix. Transfer to a plate.

2. 2

   Make a slit (about the length of a thumb) along the side of each chicken breast, on the larger side. Insert a quarter of soft cheese into each hole and press the edges to seal. Rub 2 tsp oil over all chicken breasts, then coat them in herb breadcrumbs.

3. 3

   Place the wrapped chicken breasts in a shallow baking dish. Scatter the remaining unpeeled garlic cloves around and drizzle with the remaining oil. Bake for 20‑25 minutes until the chicken is cooked and the breadcrumbs are crispy and golden. Squeeze the soft roasted garlic from its skin and serve it together with the chicken.
