Ingredients
6 tbsp Mascarpone
2 tbsp rosemary, chopped
2 tsp chopped thyme
2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
4 chicken breasts (skin on)
8 Prosciutto slices
juice half a lemon
olive oil
Method
Pre heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
In a bowl combine the Mascarpone, rosemary, thyme and lemon with a little salt and pepper.
Lift the skin of the chicken to form a pocket. Scoop a liberal amount of the Mascarpone under the skin.
Wrap 2 slices of Prosciutto ham around each of the breasts tightly, to enclose the filling.
In a roasting dish, put a splash of olive oil. Place the chicken in the dish, and roast for around 20 minutes, until cooked through, moist with a crisp outer layer.
Pour the chicken juices from the pan over the meat and serve.
