Ingredients

1 tablespoon Olive oil

2 Chicken breasts

75 grams Plain chocolate

1 teaspoon Chilli flakes

25 ml White wine

Salt & pepper

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 220c/425f/Gas 7.

1 Heat the olive oil in a roasting tin on the hob. Flatten out each chicken breast with a meat hammer.

2 Put 3 cubes of chocolate and 1/4 tsp chilli flakes in the middle of each breast. Season with salt and pepper.

3 Roll each breast up and secure with a cocktail stick. Sear the chicken in the roasting tin on the hob for 1 2 minutes and transfer to the oven to cook for 12-14 minutes until cooked through.

4 For the Chocolate Sauce: Slowly melt the remaining chocolate in a small pan with the white wine and chilli flakes. Use pan fried cabbage as a bed for the chicken and drizzle the chocolate sauce around the edge.
