Step 3

Finely chop the shallots and garlic, and dice the red pepper into 7 mm cubes.

Step 4

Mix the vegetables with feta cheese.

Step 5

Season the chicken fillets with salt and pepper to taste. Make a deep cut on the side of each breast to create a pocket. Stuff this pocket with the vegetable filling.

Step 6

Preheat a grill pan, brush it with vegetable oil, and cook the chicken breasts on one side for 2 minutes to achieve a golden grill mark on the meat.

For the sauce, peel the mandarins and blend the pulp in a blender.

Step 9

Strain through a sieve, pour the mandarin juice into a saucepan, add sugar, a few large pieces of ginger, cardamom, and a star anise. Reduce the juice by a third.
