Ingredients
for Chicken Breasts with Iberian Ham
4
medium sized chicken breasts
200g thin slices of Jamon Iberico de Bellota
Flour
Olive oil
How
to make Chicken Breasts with Iberian Ham
- Slice
the top off each chicken breast all the way from top
to bottom so you are left with eight thin chicken
fillets.
- Cut
each slice of Iberian ham lengthways down the middle
so you have thin strips of ham
- Make
three long cuts in the middle of the fillet about
1 cm apart, one above the other. Don't cut all the
way to the ends.
- Take
one strip of Iberian ham and thread it up and under
through the chicken (like sewing) so you are left
with a kind of lattice effect. Do the same with another
thin strip. You should get two strips of ham in each
fillet.
- Once
you have done all the chicken fillets, dust them lightly
in flour.
- Heat
a little olive oil in a frying pan and gently brown
the chicken on both sides.
- Remove
from the pan and place on a baking tray. Cook in a
moderate oven for about 30 - 40 minutes until the
chicken is golden brown but still tender.
