Halloumi stuffed Chicken Breast with Polenta

This is an Air Fryer recipe.

All Summer long Halloumi cheese is available at all supermarkets. The vegetarian alternative to German Bratwurst for BBQs . Since Summer is finally over, the cheese dissapeared from all supermarket shelves.

I only found the Turkish variety. But it is only different by name. Usually I try not to use Halloumi. The squeeky cheese tastes like an eracer and grilled like a piece of hot tyre.

But I am always open for new recipe ideas.

Recipe for 2:

350 g chicken breast

100 g Halloumi

3 tsp red Pesto

1 tsp Honey

1 tsp olive oil

Salt, pepper, Italian herbs

Polenta:

300 ml veg stock, 1 tbsp butter

75 g Instant Polenta, 2 tsp creme fraiche

Season the chicken breast on both sides and make 4 cuts on the top side. Divide the Halloumi in 8 pieces and stuff them in the cuts.

Mix oil, pesto, honey and seasoning and brush on top of the chicken and cheese.

Btw: the dark crust of the cheese is caramelized honey, nothing is burned!

Put in the Air fryer for 23 min at 180 C.

Polenta:

Heat up stock with butter and add polenta. Stir and cook on low heat until thickened. Add the creme fraiche.
