Cahill’s Irish cheddar isn’t just for consuming on cheese boards or in sandwiches. There is so much more you can do with cheese in general. This week we decided to pair our Red Wine cheddar with chicken breast and Parma ham served with roasted vegetables. This meal is extremely easy to prepare and cook. If you are tired of cooking the same old traditional meals we recommend trying this dish!. We would like to thank Kate O’ Driscoll for sharing her recipe with us and if anyone wants to see more please visit her Instagram page provided in the link above.
