Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 2

Ingredients

1 whole boneless chicken breast with skin (about 1 pound), halved
2 sticks of Saga Blue (each 2 by 1/2 by 1/2 inch)
2 thin slices of cooked ham (each 4 by 4 inches)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Preparation

  1. Insert a sharp paring knife into the thicker end of each chicken breast half and cut a lengthwise pocket carefully, making it as wide as possible without puncturing the sides. Wrap each stick of Saga Blue in a ham slice, enclosing it, insert the packages in the chicken pockets, and seal each opening well with a wooden pick. In a small saucepan bring the Worcestershire sauce and the lemon juice just to a simmer, remove the pan from the heat, and swirl in the butter. Grill the chicken, seasoned with salt and pepper, on an oiled rack set about 6 inches over glowing coals, basting it frequently with the sauce, for 12 minutes on each side. (Do not baste the chicken during the last 2 minutes of grilling, and discard any unused sauce.)
