chicken wrapped in bacon



Tonight's dinner - and a recipe for Rob, who was the first person to officially eat a home cooked meal at our new kitchen bench!

Ingredients:

1 chicken thigh per person
2 slices of streaky bacon per person
1/2 leek per person
handful of cherry tomatoes per person
slice of feta per person


1.  Preheat the oven to 200c. Chop the leeks into rounds and throw in the cherry tomatoes.  Drizzle generously with olive oil and season well.  (You could add your own herbs and spices if you like here too)
2.  Open up the chicken thigh and stuff a generous slice of feta in (I just crammed in as much as I could!).
3.  Wrap each chicken thigh in bacon with the joining side on the underneath.
4.  Place on top of the leeks and tomatoes and pop in the oven.
5.  Cook for 20 - 30mins or until chicken is cooked through.
5.  I served mine with some homemade kumara wedges (Orange kumara, wedged and tossed in olive oil and whatever herbs and spices fell out the cupboard first) and some savoy cabbage briefly stir-fried with some bacon and garlic.
