Instructions
Preheat oven to 190C (170C fan or Gas 5).
Melt the butter in a small saucepan and then add the onion and garlic. Cook gently, making sure to stir occasionally, for a few minutes until the ingredients are soft but not coloured.
Then, turn the onion mixture into a bowl and leave to cool slightly. Add the soft cheese to the onion mixture and then add the tarragon, egg and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
Next, stuff the chicken breasts. Lift the skin up along one side of each breast and spread the cheese mixture over the chicken, then gently press the skin back on top.
Place the chicken breasts into an ovenproof dish and brush with melted butter. Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked through.
Cut each breast into diagonal slices and serve hot.
