Tomato Pesto 

Prosciutto 

Step by Step 

1. Lie your chicken breast flat on a chopping board. Your going to get chicken hands so just embrace it. 

2. Pressing your palm flat on the top, keep your knife flat, you can steer it up and down, you don't have to commit to one line of cutting. 

3. Stop a cm or so in from the edge, and open the flap

 4. Attractive.. i know, haha but using a tea spoon of Tomato Pesto spread across the breast. Doesn't need to be neat.

5. On a separate board cut a square of Cling Film, lie 3 pieces of prosciutto the same way, an inch gap.   (This has to be neat and tight)

 6. Lie your chicken horizontal across the middle of the prosciutto. Pull the prosciutto across, keeping it tight.

7. Pull away the cling film keeping the prosciutto in place, and wrap the other side over tight. Don't make it sausage shape, it wants to resemble chicken but more beautiful. 

8. Place on an oven tray. Drizzle over olive oil and gently grind black pepper. This can be refrigerated for hours so great for dinner parties. Oven at 200c
