Date Night Serrano Ham Wrapped Chicken Breast

Trim and halve the asparagus widthways. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Mix together the garlic, chicken stock paste and double cream for the dauphinoise (see ingredients for amount) in a jug, then set aside.

Meanwhile, wrap 2 Serrano ham slices around each chicken breast. Pop the chicken onto a baking tray, drizzle with oil and roast on the middle shelf until tender, 20-30 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain in a colander and set the pan aside. Lay the cooked potato slices in layers in an appropriately sized ovenproof dish. Stir the double cream mixture, then pour onto the potatoes. Sprinkle the cheese on top. Bake on the top shelf of your oven until golden brown and bubbling, 15-20 mins. TIP: Put the dish onto a baking tray to catch any drips.

Fill the (now empty) potato pan with water and put back on to boil with 1/2 tsp salt. When boiling, add the asparagus to the water and cook until tender, 3-4 mins. Once cooked, drain and pop back into the pan with a drizzle of oil. Season with salt and pepper.

When everything is ready, slice the Serrano wrapped chicken widthways and serve on your plates with the asparagus and a generous serving of dauphinoise potatoes alongside. Enjoy!

Pour the sugar (see ingredients for amount) and half the double cream for the mousse into a small saucepan with a small pinch of salt. Place on medium-high heat and bring it to a simmer, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat, then add the chocolate chips to the saucepan. Allow to stand for 4-5 mins, then stir together until fully combined. Set aside to cool down completely.

Meanwhile, roughly chop the hazelnuts. Heat a small frying pan on medium heat (no oil). Once hot, add the hazelnuts and dry-fry, stirring regularly, until toasted, 2-3 mins. TIP: Watch them like a hawk as they can burn easily. Transfer the hazelnuts to a small bowl for serving later.
