• 2 garlic cloves
• 6 tablespoons olive oil

• For the sauce

• 12 red ripe tomatoes
• 2 garlic cloves

directions

1. To prepare the chicken, remove the small fillet at the back and cut the breast in 3 lengthways.
2. Mix together the marinade ingredients, pour over the chicken and give it a good stir. Set aside while you prepare the sauce.
3. Roughly chop the tomatoes and place them in a pan with the garlic, olive oil and thyme. Warm the sauce until just heated through. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Wrap each piece of chicken in a slice of prosciutto, and then thread onto the skewers.
5. Place onto a preheated griddle or barbecue and turn regularly to avoid them burning. Cook for about 8-10 minutes until they are golden in colour and cooked through.
6. Serve with the fresh tomato sauce and garnish with fresh thyme or rosemary.
