- 50 g butter
- 1 tablespoon of fresh chives, finely chopped

Preparation
Step 1
For the Chicken:
Place the chicken breasts on a board and with a sharp knife, slice along the length to make a pocket in each. Form two long sausages of haggis and tuck these inside the chicken breasts, then cover with the flap of meat. Wrap the chicken breasts in bacon, covering as much of the chicken as possible. Brush with melted butter and season.
Wrap in tin foil and bake in the oven at 200C for 30 mins. After 20 mins open the tin foil parcel so the bacon can go crispy.
For the Clapshot:
Boil the potatoes and the turnips for about 20 minutes, or until they are soft and fully cooked. Drain, and return to the pan. Mash them together thoroughly. Add the butter and seasoning, fluff up with a fork and serve hot. Garnish with chives.
For the Sauce:
Mix the chicken stock and whisky together in a pan and bring to the boil, reducing the volume of liquid by half. Add the mustard and cream stirring all the time. Then add the butter so that it melts completely and thickens the sauce. Serve over the chicken.
