Chicken With Ham & Cheese
My sister recently posted an event on her blog about me cooking for her family. Among the comments, there are queries for the recipe. So I thought I would do her a favour by posting the recipe here.
I decided to do this dish as I saw the recipe somewhere online and I have never tried it before. So I thought this would be a good chance to try. Unfortunately, I can't remember all the ingredients exactly, but I know the few main ones, so I did it my own style.
Ingredients for 4 serves:
4 chicken breasts/thighs with skin, about 150g each
4 slices of Swiss Cheese or Cheddar Cheese
4 slices of ham
1 bunch of spinach
Dry herbs (oregano or Italian herbs or sage)
Salt and pepper
Toothpick (optional, only if needed)
Preparation method:
Place the chicken skin-side down on a board. With a sharp knife cut the chicken almost in half from the side, cutting parallel to the board, and leaving the other side joined. Open up like a book and lightly bash flat.
Or
Buy ready cut and flatten pieces of meat like I did... hehehe :>
After cleaning the chicken, season well with the dry herbs, salt and pepper. Set it aside to marinate. While waiting, wash the spinach and then chop it into small pieces.
Cooking method:
Heat the oven to 200 degree celcius and warm an oiled baking tray.
Heat the oil in a pan, cook the chicken, skin-side down first, for a few minutes, until well coloured.
Place the chopped spinach, a slice of ham and a slice of cheese on the inner side of the chicken, then close it as you would a book. If the chicken is too thick, use toothpick to hold it together.
Place skin-side up on the baking tray, then roast for 15 minutes or until cooked, which will depend on their size.
If you do not have an oven, then place the chicken back onto the pan and fry it until cooked.
