My take on devils on horseback

Time has rushed by since I last posted on Kommetjie Kitchen. I can only say work took over my life, but I am now back in charge and renewing my interest in spending more time on cooking.

Tonight it is just two of us for dinner and a few lightly steamed vegetables and an interesting bit of chicken will suffice. I was going to do my old favourite, pesto and feta stuffed chicken, but am restricting myself to a fairly light diet for a while, so decided to go for a less rich dish based on devils on horseback.

2 filleted chicken breasts, sliced lengthways
4 large slices of streaky bacon
Generous amount of chutney (alternatively, soak chopped prunes in a little sherry for a while)

Spread chutney or prune mixture on bacon strips, season chicken to taste and wrap in bacon. Place in baking dish and cook in hot oven 200deg C (the cooking time should not exceed 20 minutes and the heat is required to crisp the bacon slightly).

Delicious!
