2.In a bowl, combine chicken mince, breadcrumbs, eggs, bacon, onion, parsley, garlic and mustard. Season to taste and mix well.

3.Using wet hands, flatten mince mixture onto a piece of baking paper to form a 20 x 25cm rectangle, about 1cm thick.

4.To make filling, arrange all ingredients down the centre of mince. Fold mince over to enclose filling and to form a large sausage shape. Pat ends together to seal.

6.Bake further 10-15 minutes, basting occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Place on a plate and cover with foil.

7.Pour remaining wine into baking dish. Deglaze over high heat, stirring to scrape base of pan, for 3 minutes, until reduced by half. Add butter and stir over high heat for 1 minute. Pass through strainer. Serve loaf sliced with sauce, mashed potato and rocket.
