Ingredients

  •  chicken breast boneless skinless
  • 50 butter salted softened
  • tsp tarragon fresh finely chopped for scattering
  • tsp parsley fresh finely chopped
  • 0.5 tsp chives fresh snipped finely
  • 25 almond flour 
  • large pancetta thin

Equipment

  • oven
  • aluminum foil
  • cocktail sticks

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to fan 180C/ conventional 200C/gas
  2. Pat each chicken breast dry with kitchen paper. Make three lengthways slits in the top of each breast, cutting halfway through the meat.
  3. Cream the butter with the herbs until smooth, then blend in the almonds and a pinch of salt. Divide into 4 equal parts and spread one portion in the slits in each breast. Gently press the meat together to reform the shape.
  4. Wrap the prosciutto well around each breast, overlapping the ends (you shouldnt need cocktail sticks to secure it).
  5. Lay the parcels in an oiled ovenproof dish and cover loosely with a piece of buttered grease proof paper or foil. (The chicken breasts can be kept like this in the fridge for 2-8 hours, but let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.)
  6. Bake the chicken for 20 minutes, removing the butter paper or foil for the last 5 minutes.
  7. Remove the dish from the oven and allow the chicken to cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to individual plates and spoon over the melted butter that has collected in the bottom of the dish. Scatter with extra tarragon and some freshly ground pepper.
