This is a classic recipe from Stithians in Cornwall, first published in a local booklet for flattened chicken thighs stufed with cheese, mushrooms, sausage meat and chopped gammon where the chicken is wrapped in the stuffing and then wrapped in bacon before bring oven roasted. The recipe seems to originate in the 1960s.

4 large chicken thighs, skinned and boned
170g (6 oz) mature cheddar, grated
170g (6 oz) good quality pork sausage meat
115g (4 oz) button mushrooms, chopped
4 slices of gammon ham, chopped
2 tbsp parsley, chopped
2 tbsp chives, chopped
1 tsp thyme leaves, chopped
sea salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
8 rashers of streaky bacon (smoked or plain depending on personal preference)
Method:
Pre-heat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/400F).
Place the chicken thighs between two layers of clingfilm (plastic wrap) and pound with a rolling pin to flatten.
Life the upper piece of clingfilm then, in a medium-sized bowl mix together the cheese, sausage meat, mushrooms and chopped gammon. Add the herbs, season well, the mix everything together with your hands. Divide the mixture in four then place just off centre on the flattened chicken. Roll the chicken to enclose the stuffing.
Take two pieces of streaky bacon for each piece of chicken and wrap tightly around the stuffed chicken sausages to roll everything up together. Secure with a cocktail stick is needed, then transfer to a roasting tin, sitting them with the seam side underneath.
Transfer to your pre-heated oven and bake for 45 minutes. Reserve the pan juices to spoon over.
