Being stored in brine, Halloumi is quite a salty cheese; if it is too salty for you, simply rinse it under running water before using it. Once opened, Halloumi can be kept in fresh water in the fridge for several days, or it can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Slice the halloumi into thick pieces, and add these to the chicken once the initial 20 minutes is up. Return the chicken and halloumi to the oven for a further 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, and the halloumi is browning. Serve with a potato and green vegetable of your choosing.he halloumi really makes this dish special. Once the chicken has been baking for 20 minutes, take it out of the oven and add the slices of cheese. No real method for this, just lay them around the chicken so they brown evenly at the edges.
