Chicken with Ham and Cheese
An easy supper dish which brightens up chicken breasts. Parmesan, gruyere, manchego or Ilha São João are the best cheeses to use. As the oven is needed for this dish, roast small cubes of potato with garlic and herbs cook in the same time to have as an accompaniment along with a salad.
4 Chicken Breasts
4 slices of Jamon
2 tbsp Flour
2 tbsp finely grated Cheese
50g Butter
4 tbsp White Wine
4 sprigs of Tarragon (optional)
Wrap one slice of ham around each chicken breast and tuck tarragon under skin if using. Melt butter in an ovenproof dish large enough to take the chicken in a single layer. Dip the chicken in the melted butter and then coat in the cheese and flour mixed together. Place dish with chicken in a hot oven for 20 mins. Remove from oven baste with butter, pour wine around chicken and cook for a further 10 minutes.
