Gives beautifully soft, flavoursome chicken portions.
It should go without saying, but discard the marinade mix once used as it's been in contact with raw poultry!

Ingredients
- 4 Chicken Breasts
- Dried Basil
- Oaked Whisky (as much vanilla to the taste as possible)
- Galliano or vanilla essence
- Butter
- Water
- Flour
Method
- Put 350ml Water into a saucepan
- Add in 280ml of Whiskey
- Add a shot of Galliano/vanilla essence (more if you want more vanilla)
- Sprinkle some Basil on top
- Place the chicken breasts into tupperware boxes (2 breasts a box is fine)
- Begin to warm the marinade in the saucepan
- whilst the marinade is warming drizzle a shot of whiskey over each chicken breast
- Just before the marinade boils (it will start to cloud) remove it from the heat and pour it equally over the chicken breasts
- Put the lids on the tupperware boxes and leave to stand for a few hours
- Melt some margarine in the microwave (about 100 grams unless you plan to serve a blob with the chicken)
- Add two shots of whiskey
- Add a 1/2 tablespoon of flour
- Mix it together well
- Allow to cool in the fridge until it sets, stirring it every 15 minutes or so
- Remove the breasts from their marinade and slice up the side with a knife
- Liberally spread some filling inside the breast before reclosing the flap
- Grill the breasts (can probably be oven cooked) until they are thoroughly cooked
- Serve with green vegetables and a blob of the filling (if you have any left)
