Chicken stuffed with spinach and cheese and wrapped in prosciutto makes for a very easy tray bake.
I’ve used chicken thighs but breasts can also be used.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless chicken thighs per person (or one chicken breast).
- Handful of grated hard cheese per chicken piece.
- Handful of spinach per chicken piece.
- 2 slices of prosciutto per chicken piece.
- Black pepper to season.
Method
- Pre heat the oven to 180C fan.
- Pour boiling water over the spinach to wilt it. Strain well.
- Flatten the chicken thighs by placing them between two sheets of parchment paper and beating with a rolling pin. If using chicken breasts, carefully slice the breasts horizontally to open like a book before flattening them.
- Season the chicken with pepper. Place the cheese and spinach on one side of the chicken thigh and roll the chicken to secure the filling. If using chicken breasts place in the middle and simply close like a sandwich.
- Lay out the slices of prosciutto so that they are slightly overlapping. Place the chicken on one end of the prosciutto and roll into a tight shape.
- Place on an oven tray and bake for 25 minutes.
Don’t worry if some of the cheese seeps out during cooking – it will go crispy and be completely delicious!
