Ingredients

  • 100g goat's cheese
  • 250g sun-blush tomatoes
  • leaves from few fresh thyme sprigs
  • 2 large chicken breasts with skin
  • 125g spaghetti

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 220˚C/fan 200˚C/gas 7. In a bowl, mix together the goat’s cheese, 1/2 the tomatoes, drained and roughly chopped, and the thyme leaves. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Cut a slit in the side of the chicken breasts to make a pocket. Stuff each generously with cheese mixture, put into a small roasting tin and season. Drizzle over a little oil, scatter with more thyme and dot around the remaining tomatoes. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and golden.

  2. Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti according to packet instructions. Drain and return to the pan. Lift the chicken and any spilt filling onto serving plates. Stir the roasted tomatoes and pan juices into the spaghetti and toss together. Serve with the chicken.
