Prosciutto skewered chicken with fried sage leaves

Delicious Chicken Recipes (The home of healthy and tasty chicken recipes) invites you to try Prosciutto skewered chicken with fried sage leaves  recipe. Enjoy cooking quick and easy healthy meals and learn how to make Prosciutto skewered chicken with fried sage leaves.

This succulent chicken dish makes a great Saturday night treat for two.

Moderately easy
Serves 2
Prep 20 - 30 mins


Ingredients

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts fillets
4 slices of prosciutto or smoked streaky bacon
1 tbsp plain flour
1 tbsp olive oil
handful of sage leaves
25g butter
150ml dry white wine
4 tbsp double cream or crème fraîche
cooked pasta , to serve

Method

Put the chicken breasts between two sheets of greaseproof paper and beat with a rolling pin until roughly twice their original size. Lay two rippled slices of prosciutto on top of each breast and secure with cocktail sticks. Dust each breast lightly with flour, then season with salt and pepper. (Can be made several hours ahead up to this point, and chilled.)

Heat the oil in a frying pan, drop in the sage leaves (they should sizzle) and fry for 30 seconds until just crisp. They can burn quickly so watch them. Lift out the leaves with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Add the butter to the pan, let it melt, then fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked and well browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Pour in the wine, stirring well to scrape all the lovely sticky bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the mixture bubble until the wine is reduced by about half. Stir in the cream or crème fraîche, put the chicken back in the pan and heat through. Scatter the fried sage leaves on top and serve with pasta tossed with a little olive oil and some freshly chopped sage leaves.

To Prep 0:15
To Cook 0:15
INGREDIENTS 7
DIFFICULTY EASY
SERVINGS 6
Ingredients

1 tbs soy sauce
1 tbs sushi seasoning
1 tbs finely grated fresh ginger
500g chicken thigh fillets, cut into 3cm pieces
Vegetable oil, to deep-fry
130g (1 cup) cornflour
2 tbs plain flour

Method

Combine the soy sauce, sushi seasoning and ginger in a glass or ceramic dish. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 1 hour to marinate.

Drain the chicken from the marinade and pat dry. Add oil to a large saucepan to reach a depth of 5cm. Heat to 170°C over medium-high heat (when the oil is ready, a cube of bread turns golden in 20 seconds). Place combined flour on a plate. Add one-third of the chicken and toss to coat. Shake off any excess. Cook, turning halfway through cooking, for 4-5 minutes or until cooked through. Use tongs to transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Repeat, in 2 more batches, with the remaining chicken and flour mixture, reheating the oil between batches. Transfer to a serving platter.

A good chicken recipe for budding Jamie Olivers to get stuck into. Learn to make a tasty BBQ marinade which can be used on other meats

Easy
Serves 4
Prep 30 mins
Cook 35 mins

Ingredients

FOR THE BBQ CHICKEN

3 tbsp tomato ketchup
2 tbsp clear honey
2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
8 chicken drumsticks , preferably organic

FOR THE COLESLAW

¼ white cabbage
1 small red onion
1 celery stick
1 red-skinned apple
1 large carrot
2 heaped tbsp mayonnaise
heaped tbsp Greek yogurt
1 tsp wholegrain mustard

Method

Mix the BBQ sauce: Open out the freezer bag, then spoon in the ketchup, honey, chilli sauce, soy sauce, oil, vinegar and spice. Close the bag and squidge the ingredients together to mix them.

Add the chicken: Make 2 or 3 deep cuts in the meaty part of the drumsticks with a sharp knife (this helps them take on lots of flavour from the sauce). Put the chicken in the bag with the sauce and tie shut. Wash your hands. Squidge everything together again so all the drumsticks are well coated. Leave out for 1 hr, or in the fridge overnight, to marinate.

Prepare the veg: Thinly slice the cabbage on a clean chopping board with a clean, sharp knife, then put it in the mixing bowl. Now prepare the other vegetables, adding them to the bowl as you finish preparing them. Peel the onion and finely chop. Thinly slice the celery stick.

Grate the apple and carrot: Take the apple (keep it whole and with the skin on) and grate up to the core. Turn the apple a quarter turn and grate again. Repeat until you are left with just the core. Be careful not to grate your knuckles. Peel, then cut the stalk end off the carrot. Grate the carrot and add to the bowl.

Cook the chicken: Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Tip the chicken and sauce into a large roasting tin and space the drumsticks apart. Carefully put the roasting tin in the oven using oven gloves, then set the timer for 20 mins. When the time is up, carefully take the chicken from the oven. Brush the chicken with the glaze in the roasting tin, then return to the oven for 15 mins more.

Mix the coleslaw: While the chicken is cooking, mix the veg together with clean hands or a spoon. Add the mayonnaise, yogurt and mustard into the vegetables, then season with salt and pepper. Stir well. When the chicken is cooked through and golden, serve with the coleslaw.

Try

Make sure the chicken is cooked

Take a sharp knife (it is important to wash it if you've used it on the raw chicken) and cut into the meaty part of the chicken. Look at the juices that come out - if they're red, the chicken isn't cooked yet. Return it to the oven for 10 minutes more, then test it again.

Delicious hot or cold and perfect for a picnic, this stuffed chicken will be a real family favourite

Easy
Serves 8
Prep 40 mins
Cook 1 hr 10 mins

Ingredients

100g couscous
175ml boiling chicken stock
50g butter
1 onion , finely chopped
1 garlic clove , crushed
100g pine nuts
140g dried apricots , roughly chopped
large handful parsley , roughly chopped
2 tbsp mint leaves, roughly chopped
1 lemon
1 egg , beaten
6 skinless chicken breasts
16 rashers streaky bacon

Method

Put couscous in a large heatproof bowl, pour over stock, then cover with cling film for 5 mins until liquid is absorbed. Melt half the butter in a pan, then gently cook onion and garlic for 5-8 mins until soft. Set aside. Dry-fry pine nuts for a few mins until golden. Combine onions, pine nuts, apricots and herbs with couscous. Add a good squeeze of lemon juice, season, then stir in egg. Leave to cool.

Using the back of a knife, stretch rashers to 1½ times their original length. Lay, slightly overlapping, on a large sheet of foil to form a rectangle. Make a few slashes in the thickest part of each chicken breast and lay between 2 sheets of cling film. Use the base of a heavy pan to bash the chicken until about 1cm thick. Arrange chicken over the bacon, fitting so there are no gaps, but leave a border on longer sides. (This helps to roll up the chicken.)

Spoon stuffing over chicken in a strip along one of the longest sides. Using tin foil to help, roll bacon and chicken around stuffing like a log. Wrap tightly in foil, twisting the ends to secure, then chill for 2 hrs or up to 1 day.

Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Place chicken, join-side down, in a roasting tray. Cook for 30 mins, then unwrap foil and brush roast with remaining butter. Cook, uncovered, for 20-30 mins more until cooked through, and the stuffing is hot (a metal skewer inserted into the chicken's centre should come out hot). Cool and wrap in fresh foil to transport.
