INSTRUCTIONS

Pre-heat the oven to 220Ã¸C/425Ã¸F/gas mark 7  Set up a smoker with the
thyme and broken cinnamon sticks using 2  roasting tins and leave until
a steady stream of smoke appears  between the 2 of them.  Wash and dry
the chicken. Grind 1 cinnamon stick for the chicken and  crush the
garlic. Mix together. Lift the fillets on the breasts and  pop a sprig
of thyme and a little of the cinnamon mix under each,  putting the
fillets back in place. Rub a little of the cinnamon mix  onto each side
of the breasts. Season well and rub with olive oil.  Heat a skillet
until very hot and sear the breasts on all sides.  Put the breasts on a
wire rack in the smoker, skin side down. Replace  the lid. Smoke for 2
minutes, then turn the breasts and smoke for  another minute. Remove
from the smoker, put the remaining cinnamon  stick, broken, and any
remaining thyme in a small roasting tin and  sit the breasts on top.
Make the balsamic dressing by mixing all the  ingredients except chives
and smear this on the skin side of the  breasts. Roast for about 12
minutes until the juices run clear.  Warm the dressing and then add the
chives for a fresh green colour and  oniony flavour. Serve with the
breasts.  Converted by MC_Buster.  Per serving: 852 Calories (kcal);
