On NYE I have a load of friends coming around, and I'll be cooking for eight people. It's the first time I've cooked "properly" for so many people.

I am currently thinking of cooking cheese stuffed chicken breast, wrapped in bacon with rice. I cooked this a couple of weeks back but felt that it was quite dry - so wondered if it'd be best to serve with a sauce and some veg of some sort - could anyone recommend one and appropriate veg?

Also, the recipe's for the chicken I looked at seemed to offer wildly varying cooking times and methods. I wrapped and stuffed the raw chicken and cooked for (I think) about 40 minutes at 200 degrees, should I be cooking for longer on a lower heat?

Many thanks in advance!
