We really enjoyed this -- the parma ham (or as we called it when I was growing up, prosciutto), was just fantastic wrapped around the chicken. It kept the chicken nice and moist. I sauteed the wrapped chicken parcels over high heat for 1 minute to give them some extra color and then cooked them as directed. I will add a little spice to the filling next time, perhaps some lemon-pepper. We served it, as suggested, with mashed potatoes and onion gravy. This is a wonderful recipe and makes a great presentation as well!
