Pesto parma chicken

Pesto parma chicken

Chicken and parma ham is a classic dish that everyone loves, but turn it into something a bit different by adding pesto, and serve with roasted tomatoes and a crisp green salad

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes
Serves: 4

What you need:

  • 4 x 125g boneless chicken breasts, skinned
  • 3 tbsp Sacla' Classic Pesto
  • 4 Sacla' Sun-dried Tomatoes, drained of oil and sliced
  • 8 thin slices Parma ham
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

What you do:

  1. First preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF/Gas Mark 6.
  2. Next spread the chicken breasts out on a board and, with a sharp knife, make a small slit in the top of each one to create a 'pocket'. Spread the inside of the pocket with the Sacla' Classic Pesto and layer the sun-dried tomato slices onto each chicken breast.
  3. Wrap each chicken breast with 2 slices of Parma ham and put them on a baking sheet.
  4. Finally drizzle each one with oil and bake them in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
