Stuffed Boned Chicken en Croûte

You can really only do this if you are prepared to bone a chicken or can find a butcher who will bone one for you – in the country they often will and do not charge anything and good London butchers usually will if they like you! It is a very pretty, impressive dinner party dish, fairly easy, but it has to be done in two stages to start in time or do the first part well ahead to make it easier later when you are busy.
