Chicken stuffed with trout

The combination of tastes from the chicken and the trout is quite surprising, they complement each other well. For the sauce, instead of cress you can use flat-leaf parsley. Also if you can't steam cook, you can simply poach the chicken in water with a little chicken stock.

Preparation : 35 minutes

Ingredients pour 4

4 chicken breasts

1 bouquet of cress of flat-leaf parsley

• Cut into the sides of the chicken breast and open and flatten them. They must be thin.
• Remove the skin from the trout, and cut into slices to be placed in the centre of the chicken. Season with salt and pepper.
• Fold over to close the chicken, and wrap up in film so as to ensure that no humidity will enter the parcels during cooking.
• Steam cook or poach the chicken for around 8 minutes.
