In this fun Italian recipe, you flatten chicken breasts with a rolling pin to make a quick supper with mozzarella and Parma ham

Serves 4
Ready in 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 skinned chicken breasts
  • Olive oil, for brushing
  • 500g tub fresh tomato pasta sauce
  • 75g pitted black olives
  • Handful shredded fresh basil leaves, plus 8 whole leaves
  • 125g mozzarella ball, cut into 8 thin slices and patted dry with kitchen paper
  • 4 slices Parma ham

Method: How to make chicken and mozzarella in tomato sauce

1. Using a rolling pin, flatten the chicken breasts between 2 sheets of cling film into 5mm thick escalopes. Brush with a little olive oil, season, and cook in a hot frying pan for 3-4 minutes, turning halfway, until cooked and golden.

2. Meanwhile, preheat the grill to high. In a small pan, heat the pasta sauce until hot. Stir in the olives and shredded basil.

3. Pour into a shallow ovenproof dish, lay the chicken on top and cover each escalope with 2 mozzarella slices, 2 basil leaves and 1 slice Parma ham. Grill for 5-6 minutes, until bubbling. Serve with olive oil mash and green vegetables.

  1. Some series ago there was a really super starter recipe which contained shredded chicken wrapped in parma ham and then baked. I cannot find it, any chance you could let me have the recipe. it was on some month ago I'm afraid.
