Method

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C.
Bring a pan of water to the boil, add the carrots and parsnips and cook for 5-6 mins until starting to soften. Drain and leave to steam dry in the colander until no water is visible and the carrots and parsnips have dried.
Blitz the bread in a food blender until it forms fine breadcrumbs. Mix with the tarragon, 1 tsp thyme, lemon zest and garlic. Set aside.
Toss the parsnips, carrot and onion in 1 tbsp oil and remaining 1 tsp thyme on a large baking tray. Season with freshly ground black pepper.
Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket through the centre of each chicken breast, ensuring the hole doesn’t go the whole way through. Divide the garlic and herb soft cheese between the 4 pockets, then fold over the chicken to seal.
Place the chicken on top of the vegetables and top each breast with the breadcrumb mix. Drizzle over the remaining 1 tbsp oil and bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 25-30 mins until the chicken is cooked throughout and the vegetables are tender.
Serve sprinkled with the parsley.
