I would never opt for a chicken dish in a restaurant or really choose to cook it unless I needed something quick, simple and healthy, however on Friday night I decided to give a plain chicken breast a bit of a twist.
I cooked pancetta wrapped chicken stuffed with garlic, cumin and gruyere and it was delicious. Here’s how I did it;
Ingredients
- 1 skinned Chicken Fillet
- 1 crushed garlic clove
- 1/4 tsp Cumin seeds
- 25g Gruyere Cheese
- 2 slices of Parma Ham
- Seasoning
Method
- Cut into the chicken breast to make a pocket
- Put the garlic, Cumin and Gruyere into the chicken breast, season with cracked black pepper and then wrap the chicken breast with the Parma Ham.
- Pan fry in olive oil to seal and then oven roast for 25 minutes.(170 deg C)
- Rest for 5 mins and serve.
I served my chicken with sugarsnap peas, fresh asparagus and mashed sweet potato but you could serve it with anything you fancy. Sliced on top of spaghetti, accompanied with rice or on a bed of crips lettuce and tomatoes all work well. It is also tasty with a sauce such as mushroom, cream and Noilly Prat. It is a versatalie recipe that is cheap and simple, so definitely worth a try.
