Chicken and prosciutto

I don't usually boast about any meals I cook but last night I made something that was soooo good I feel I need to share.  Others may have tried this but this was a first for me.  We eat lots and lots of chicken so I'm always on the lookout for new recipes!! 

Take some chicken breast and pound it flat, season the chicken w/ salt and pepper, set aside. 

Chop some sundried tomatoes, rehydrate them w/ hot water.  Once they are soft drain the water and add some chopped garlic, salt, pepper and a dash of olive oil.  Mix together (make enough to roll into the flattened chicken). 

Take the chicken fill it w/ the sundried tomato mixture and roll it.  Take the prosciutto and cover the chicken w/ it.  I covered it the long way, used less that way.  Take some aluminum foil and tightly wrap the chicken (kinda looks like a Christmas cracker)  put it in the oven for 20 minutes at 220.  You can either cut the roll into 3 and serve or serve it whole.  Whole it kinda looks like a sausage.  I like the way it looked when cut better.  Oh and I also browned the roll after I cooked it just because I liked the look of it better.  I served it w/ roasted new potatoes and a salad, it was YUMMY!!!!

I'm not sure if this makes any sense at all, as I said earlier I don't usually post recipes so...

That sounds really good!  My husband loves when I stuff chicken breasts with prosciutto and cheese (I forget the name of the cheese, but its Italian and almost like parmesean, but more 'melty').  I lightly bread them, saute in a bit of oil and then bake. 

Sounds quite tasty. Thanks for sharing!

I wanted to make your recipe tonight, but I can't find prosciutto anywhere!! So, I'm using regular bacon instead.  I also found a sundried tomato pesto sauce which sounds lovely and I think it will be a bit easier (I love easy!).

How was dinner??

You should be able to find prosciutto anywhere, I've bought it at the Tesco Express around the corner from us and from Sommerfields so I was under the assumption that it was a common item to purchase.  It's sometimes labeled Parma ham

It was really really yummy.  I used extra ham to chop up and add tomato pesto to some pasta.  My husband really enjoyed it!

I'll have to look for parma ham, because two deli counter workers (Asda and Morrisons) said they had never even heard of prosciutto.

Cool, glad hubby liked it.  The ham should be found in the cold section of the grocery store.  It's prepackaged, so I don't have to go to the deli section and have them slice it for me.
