Italian Chicken?
The actual name for this dish is ‘Chicken stuffed with mozzarella wrapped in Parma Ham with italian tomato sauce and seared asparagus’ which is a bit of a mouthful and way too long for the title box in wordpress. I made this for lunch on Wednesday and was gloating on twitter so I thought I’d share it with you.
The Sauce
The sauce can be used as a pizza base, pasta sauce or with chicken so my advice is to make a batch like I did.
Ingredients
2 x Cans of chopped tomatoes
Hand ful of Parmesan
2 x spring onion
5 x garlic cloves
Handful of Basil
Handful of Parsley
3 drops tabasco
Black Pepper
Sea Salt
Let’s not get fancy, you pretty much whack everything in a pot cook it for a bit and blend. You can’t really go wrong.
For the Chicken
Slice chicken breasts lengthways, stuff with mozzarella and wrap in parma ham. Bake in oven at 200 celsius for half an hour. Slice chicken before serving making sure chicken is piping hot through.
For the Asparagus
Just sear it on a griddle with olive oil
Serve it
Dollop a ladle of sauce onto plate, slice chicken once across centre (as shown in pic) and let mozzarella ooze. Place asparagus beside and serve it.
