This recipe comes courtesy of the Howel Food Agency.

1 Oaklands Organics Glamorgan chicken (approx. 2.5kg)
1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
75g Blaenafon soft goat’s cheese
Zest of 1 lemon
Halen Môn sea salt
Black pepper

Instructions: 

Pre-heat the oven to 200˚C/Gas Mark 6. Wash and dry the chicken.

Mix the cheese with the fresh herbs and lemon and form into two sausage shapes. Push your fingers underneath the skin of the bird so that you create a pocket between the breast and skin, taking care not to break the skin. Push the herbed cheese onto the breast and pat the skin back over, moulding the cheese to the shape of the chicken. Season the bird with Halen Môn sea salt and black pepper. Cut the lemon in half and put in the cavity. Place the chicken in a roasting tin and roast for 20mins per 500g plus 30mins.

Allow to rest for ten minutes before serving.
