Method

  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 200˚C/400˚F/Gas Mark 6. Melt the butter and fold in the breadcrumbs, spinach, lemon rind, garlic, pine nuts and parsley, then sprinkle on top of the chicken breasts, giving them a gentle press down.
  2. 2. Using a sharp knife, cut a slit into the side of each chicken breast and use your fingers to make a little pocket.
  3. 3. Spoon the breadcrumb mixture into the four breasts pockets, wrap with prosciutto and arrange in a baking tin. Add the cherry tomato vines and season with salt and pepper.
  4. 4. Roast for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and golden and the cherry tomatoes are just beginning to char and split. Serve with a simple side salad or herby cous cous.

Chicken Parmesan

Seek the best quality tinned tomatoes for the marinara sauce in this recipe, it makes all the difference to the finished dish. You’ll notice I’ve also called for Japanese panko breadcrumbs for the breaded chicken breasts – unlike standard breadcrumbs they’re made from bread without crusts and are ground up into coarser flakes which absorb less oil, resulting a lighter, crunchier coating.

Creamy Chicken & Spinach Pasta

April 10

I love recipes that come with a dash of nostalgia and this one never fails to deliver. In what now feels like another life, I was in a band with my Swedish pal Jonathan and, while staying at his place, I picked up this great recipe from his ‘Mamma’, Kerstin. She really knows how to feed a crowd and this recipe is absolutely delicious.
