Maize-Fed Chicken & Parma Ham

Maize-Fed Chicken & Parma HamMaize-fed chicken is delicious but make sure that it’s free range – not all maize fed birds are allowed to roam free.

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 4 maize-fed free-range chicken breasts
  • 4 slices Parma ham
  • 160gr penne pasta
  • 2 table spoons pesto
  • 1 chicken cube or ½ pint chicken/ vegetable stock
  • Water
  • 200ml double cream
  • 50gr parmesan (grated)
  • Pinch chopped parsley
  • Salt & pepper

Method

Butterfly the breast of chicken & wrap with a slice of Parma ham, set aside

Make a chicken stock using the water & stock cube, reduce by half, add the cream & reduce once more

Heat a frying pan with little olive oil, seal the chicken breast until golden brown on presentation side, turn the breast over & continue to cook (the chicken breast can be finished in the oven at this stage)

When the chicken is ready, finish the cream & stock mix with parmesan & black pepper, add cooked pasta & warm gently for 1- 2 minutes in a saucepan, finish with parsley

Place the pasta in the middle of a warm plate, top with the chicken breast, pour a little of the cheese, cream, pesto around the plate

Serve immediately
