Instructions
Prepare the 6 rashers of streaky bacon by stretching them with the back of a knife. This will help them to cover the chicken.
Cut a slit in each of the chicken breasts.
Open out the chicken breast.
Break up the haggis and stuff it into the pocket you have made in the chicken breast.
Place the bacon on a board each rasher overlapping slightly. Put the chicken breast onto the bacon.
Wrap the bacon around the chicken moving the rashers so that all of the chicken and haggis is covered. Repeat with the second chicken breast.
Preheat the air fryer.
Place the bacon wrapped stuffed chicken upside down into the air fryer basket.
Air fry the chicken at 170C for 15 minutes then turn and air fry at 190C for a further 5 minutes.
Check that the chicken is cooked by piercing it with a skewer. If the juices run clear then it is cooked. If there is any pink in the juice then return the chicken to the air fryer and cook for a further 5 minutes.
Lift the chicken out onto a plate and leave for 5 minutes to rest.
Cut into thick slices.
To make the Whisky Cream Sauce
Place 100 ml of double cream and 10 grams of butter into a small saucepan. Gently warm the cream and butter, but do not let it boil.
Add 1 tbsp of Scotch Whisky to the cream.
To serve
Serve the Balmoral Chicken with the Whisky Cream Sauce, roasted swede and a green vegetable.
