Chicken with Parma ham and Mozzarella
INGREDIENTS
4 chicken breast fillets
250g ball mozzarella
20g fresh basil
1 x 78g pack Parma ham
Salt and pepper
1 tsp olive oil
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C.
Lay the chicken fillets on a board, season all over and make a small incision with a sharp knife in the middle of each one.
Stuff 2 slices of the mozzarella and 3 basil leaves into the slit
Wrap each chicken breast with 1½ slices of Parma ham to cover the breast.
Heat the oil in a pan and sear the chicken on both sides until golden. Place on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 15-20 mins until the chicken is cooked through with no pink showing (cut into the thickest part of the breast to check the meat is cooked through).
Serve with a side salad or some steamed greens.
