Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas 6. Spray a non-stick saucepan with a little low-calorie cooking spray and place over a low heat. Add the onion, leek, celery and chicken stock and season lightly. Cover and cook for 10 minutes until the vegetables are soft but not browned then tip the mixture into a bowl and leave to cool slightly.
- Stir the ham, cottage cheese, breadcrumbs, mustard, thyme and egg into the vegetable mixture and season to taste. Cut a long deep pocket into the thickest side of each breast. Fill each of the pockets with the stuffing mixture, press the chicken breasts back into shape and tie them in 3 places with kitchen string, just tightly enough to keep all that lovely stuffing in the right place.
- Arrange the chicken breasts on a rack set over a roasting tin, season lightly then brush each one with a little of the maple syrup. Roast for 35-40 minutes or until the juices run clear, basting twice more with maple syrup. Serve straight away with your favourite vegetables.
