Chicken breast stuffed with black pudding and nduja
I’ve wanted to try stuffed chicken for a while and this recipe didn’t disappoint.
Due to the dreaded Covid, we found ourselves with a glut of chickens, some black pudding, and a lot of bacon. This seemed to make sense and the results were lovely. We might tweak this a little and add a sauce, but as it stands, it’s lovely.
Serves 2

BBQ Temperature
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 12 rashers of bacon, streaky is best
- 4 tbsp nduja
- 2 thick slices of black pudding
Equipment
- A non stick pan – I use the amazing Tefal Ingenio stainless pans or the Big Green Egg cast iron plancha or skillet.
Method
- Setup your Egg for a direct cook with the stainless steel grid. Set the Egg to 180°C.
- Butterfly your chicken breasts by cutting across them to open them out like a book lengthways.
- Cut your black pudding slices into two half-moons and add two of these to each breast.
- Roll your nduja into two sausages and place these into each chicken breast.
- Fold your chicken breast, enclosing your stuffing.
- Now wrap each breast with bacon and secure it with some cocktail sticks.
- Lightly oil your cooking surface and cook your chicken breast for about 15 minutes before turning.
- Cook the breasts until they reach 74°C internally. It’s best to use a thermometer like the Meater+ to monitor the cook.
- Take off and rest for 5 minutes.
We served our breasts with our spicy red slaw.
