Serrano Ham Wrapped Chicken Breast and Creamy Sauce

Once the potatoes are ready, drain in a colander and pop back into the pan.

Shake to fluff up the potatoes, then carefully add them to the hot baking tray, turning in the oil.

Season with salt, then roast on the top shelf of your oven until golden, 30-35 mins. Turn halfway through.

Meanwhile, lay a slice of Serrano ham lengthways on a board. Place a chicken breast horizontally across the middle, then wrap the ham around the chicken to enclose it. 

Repeat with the remaining chicken and ham, then place them, seam-side down, on a lightly oiled baking tray.

Drizzle the chicken with oil, then roast on the middle shelf of your oven until cooked through, 25-30 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Meanwhile, halve any thick broccoli stems lengthways. Drain and chop the mozzarella into 2cm chunks.

In a medium bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper, then set aside for now.

Halfway through cooking the chicken, add the broccoli to the same baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then spread out in a single layer.

Roast on the middle shelf for the remaining cooking time until tender and crispy, 12-15 mins.

When the potatoes have 5 mins left, sprinkle over the Parmigiano Reggiano and toss to coat. Return to the oven for the remaining time.

If you'd prefer to boil your broccoli, boil it in step 5 while the sauce simmers for 3-4 mins, until tender.

While everything cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a small frying pan on medium heat.

Once hot, stir in the chicken stock paste and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount). Bring to the boil and simmer until reduced by half, 3-4 mins. 

Mix in the creme fraiche, bring back to the boil, then remove from the heat. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.
