Step by Step Method
Step 1
To prepare your chicken first grate your Parmesan then pick the thyme leaves off the stalks.
Step 2
Carefully score the underside of the chicken breasts in a criss-cross fashion with a small knife and season with a little pepper (you don't need salt the prosciutto is quite salty).
Step 3
Lay your breasts next to each other and sprinkle over most of the thyme leaves, grate a little lemon zest over them and then sprinkle with the parmesan.
Step 4
Lay 3 prosciutto slices on each chicken breast, overlapping them slightly, drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining thyme leaves.
Step 5
Put a square of cling film over each breast and give a few really good bashes with the bottom of a pan until they're about 1cm thick.
Step 6
To cook your chicken put a frying pan over a medium heat, remove they clingfilm and carefully transfer the chicken breasts prosciutto side down, into the pan and drizzle over some olive oil and cook for 3 minutes each side, turning halfway through, giving the ham side an extra 30 seconds to crisp up.
Step 7
To serve your chicken either serve the chicken breasts whole or cut them into thick slices and pile them on a plate.
Step 8
Serve with some lemon wedges for squeezing over, and good drizzle of olive oil, lovely with mash and green vegetable or a crunchy salad.
