From the h2g2 website (which is part of the BBC):

But as long as you've got chicken breasts, bacon, cheese and barbecue sauce, it's hard to go wrong making Hunter's Chicken anyway!

Isn't Hunters chicken the same as Chicken chasseur? ( chasseur meaning chaser ) ?

Many thanks for your replies. I had never heard of Hunters chicken before. But as I said I got one from Tesco one day for quickness and it was beautiful. It was made with wine, because you could taste it. and it had black olives in it. Although I will not put those in. Also could taste smoked bacon and a bar b que sauce. I will try your recipes , both of them. thanks again. x

hunters chicken is a regular in our house i make it by stuffing a chicken breast with cheese then wrapping in bacon, i always used to cook it with bbq sauce but we have since decided we like the sauce separate at the table. No recipe needed as it is really straight forward.
