Danielle got creative with meat to create this mouth watering main course on Come Dine With Me Southampton

1. Brush the peppers with oil and grill for about 15 minutes, turning every now and then until the skin blackens. Remove from the heat, transfer to a bowl with tongs and cover with cling film. Put aside and leave to cool.

2. Preheat the oven to 200°C/Gas 6. Cut the chicken breast in half horizontally and stuff with the mozzarella and chorizo. Tie with butcher's string. Put the chicken and potatoes in a roasting tin and drizzle over 3 tbsp of the oil. Season with salt and pepper.

3. Cover with foil and roast for 20 minutes, then uncover and continue baking for a further 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked throughout and the potatoes are golden.

4. Heat the remaining oil in a small saucepan and gently fry the shallot. Peel and deseed the peppers. Cut into small pieces. Add the peppers to the pan with the shallots and stir in the chilli and cream. Simmer gently without boiling for 2 - 3 minutes, stirring regularly. Remove from the heat and blitz with a stick blender until smooth. Keep warm.

5. When the chicken is cooked, remove the pan and snip off the string. Serve the chicken and potatoes on warmed plates with the pepper sauce and freshly cooked green beans.
