Description

Wrapping chicken thighs in prosciutto keeps them moist and tasty.

Method

Preheat oven to 200C.

Sprinkle a little oregano over flattened chicken thighs and season with salt and pepper.  Roll up, pinwheel style.

Lay a slice of prosciutto on the board and place a rolled chicken thigh at one end.  Roll to enclose the thigh in the prosciutto.  Repeat with the remaining prosciutto and chicken pieces.

Place the chicken parcels into an oven proof dish, spacing them well apart from each other.  Pour the stock over the chicken and brush each roll with olive oil.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, basting occasionally, until the chicken parcels are cooked through and golden.

Serve immediately with Creamy Polenta and a green salad.
