Happy Tasty Tuesday. Fancy making some of these Le Rustique Brie de Caractère, Apricot, and Walnut Stuffed Chicken Breast?

Lemon thyme, parsley and thyme are three delicious herbs that reflect springtime.

This recipe incorporates all three herbs to create a beautifully light stuffed chicken breast dish.

We would recommend serving with dauphinoise potato and lightly grilled purple sprouting broccoli.

These also taste great cold if you are making a picnic or wanting a delicious work lunch the next day.

About:

In 1975, cheese factory manager, Jean Verrier gave birth to the very first Le Rustique Camembert.

To this day, his artisan techniques continue to inspire the production of all Le Rustique cheeses.

Le Rustique cheeses are in constant evolution and each stage has its own taste.

The maturation process of Brie can be divided in three stages, with each stage offering different tastes and textures:

* Young: 25 days or more before the Use By Date – Texture: firm; Flavour: light and fresh

* Ripe: Between 15 and 25 days before the Use By Date – Texture: soft and melt-in-the-mouth; Flavour: distinctive

* Mature: 15 days or less before the Use By Date – Texture: creamy and soft; Flavour: pronounced
