1. Put the chicken breast in a large bowl and toss with the lime juice, flaked chilli, cayenne pepper, coriander and chilli powder. Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for 2 hours. 2. To make the guacamole, cut the avocados in half and remove the stones. Scoop the flesh into a bowl and mash with the lemon juice, garlic and cayenne pepper until as smooth as possible. Cover the surface of the guacamole with cling film and set aside. 3. To make the cheese sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan and stir in the flour. Cook for a few seconds then gradually whisk in the milk and continue whisking until the sauce is thickened and creamy. 4. Stir the cheese into the pan and stir until it melts into the sauce. Scatter over the jalapenos and continue cooking the sauce for a further 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and set aside. Stir every couple of minutes or so to prevent a skin forming. 5. To cook the chicken, heat the oil in a large frying pan and stir fry the spiced chicken for 6-8 minutes until cooked though, adding the peppers 2-3 minutes before the end of the cooking time. 6. Serve the chicken and peppers with warm tortillas, guacamole, soured cream, salsa, jalapeno cheese sauce and an undressed green salad.

Maria from Come Dine With Me Portsmouth served her breasts stuffed Serves 6 Ingredients
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/Gas 6. Remove the skin from two of the chicken breasts and roughly chop the flesh. Put the chicken meat in a food processor with crab, mint leaves, 150ml of the cream and plenty of salt and pepper. Blitz until all the ingredients are well combined, soft and moussey. 2. Carefully make a lengthways hole in each of the remaining chicken breasts - through the thickest part until almost all the way to the end. Make sure you don’t cut through the flesh as these pockets need to hold the crab stuffing. 3. Pipe or spoon the crab stuffing into each chicken breast and gently close the open ends. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and cook the chicken, skin-side down, for 5 minutes over a medium-high heat until golden brown. Turn over and cook on the other side for 3-4 minutes until seared. 4. Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking tray, skin-side up. Dot with butter and roast in the centre of the oven for 15-20 minutes or until thoroughly cooked. The filling should be piping hot and there should be no pink meat remaining. 5. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sauce. Pour the wine into a saucepan and add the shallot and chicken stock. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and stir in the remaining 150ml double cream. Return to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes or until the sauce is thickened, stirring regularly. Strain through a fine sieve into a clean pan and season to taste. Warm through gently. 6. Serve the chicken with the creamy wine sauce, rosti potatoes and seasonal vegetables.
