Chicken breast stuffed with mushrooms topped with a sweet onion crust

4 x corn fed chicken breasts

Mushroom stuffing
150g onions
400g mixed mushrooms
Good pinch of mixed chopped herbs
50g butter
150g fresh breadcrumbs

Sweet onion crust
300g sliced onions
100ml olive oil
50g butter
300g fresh breadcrumbs

Slow braised zucchinis

400g large zucchini batons
50g butter
100ml chicken stock or water
1 tsp chopped garlic
Juice of 1⁄2 lemon
Good pinch of mixed chopped herbs

Herb chats

500g boiled, halved chat potatoes
50g butter
40ml olive oil
Handful of mixed herbs

Red wine mushroom jus

500g mixed mushrooms
1 tsp chopped garlic
100g finely diced onions
200ml red wine
500ml veal or beef stock

1. Slice the onions into thin strips and cook over a gentle heat in the oil and butter     until golden brown. Add the breadcrumbs, salt and pepper. The coating mixture     should resemble a crumbly texture.

2. For the jus, gently sweat off the onions, garlic and mushrooms in a pan, then     add the wine and reduce by a third. Add the stock and reduce by two thirds.

3.
For the zucchinis melt the butter and lightly fry the garlic. Add the zucchinis then     the stock and lemon juice. Cover with greaseproof paper. Bring to boil. Turn the     heat down and cook for 10 minutes or until tender. Add chopped herbs and     seasoning.

4. For the chicken make a small incision below the wing bone running down the     fillet, fill with a small amount of the filling and brown in an ovenproof pan. Top     with a generous amount of the onion crust and bake in the oven at 180°C for     about 15 minutes.

5.
For the chats melt the butter and olive oil. Add the chats and cook until golden     brown. Add the chopped herbs, salt and pepper.

6. Place four chats on each plate and top with braised zucchinis. Spoon a     generous amount of sauce over the zucchinis ensuring mushrooms are     divided evenly. Top with the chicken breast, garnish and serve.
