directions

  • Preheat oven to 200C/400°F.
  • Mix the mascarpone with the rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper.
  • Place the chicken breasts on a board and lift the skin, but don't detach it.
  • Put a spoonful of the mascarpone mix under the skin of each breast.
  • Wrap 2 slices of prosciutto around each one as neatly and tightly as you can, to keep the filling enclosed.
  • Heat a non-stick fry pan, add the olive oil and quickly brown the chicken on both sides.
  • Transfer to a roasting tin, then finish off in the oven for 15-20 minutes until just cooked through.
  • Add the lemon juice to the roasting tin and stir over the heat, scraping off any crispy bits.
  • Spoon the juices over the chicken and serve.

  1. This is excellent! I used a whole cut up chicken and left out the wings. I did not brown the chicken, I just put them in the baking dish and I made a little more mascarpone mix. I mixed only 1 tsp. olive oil (instead of a TBSP) with the juice of the 1/2 lemon. I rubbed that all over my chicken then baked. I had to bake mine for 45 minutes probably because of not browning it first. It turned out great!! Thanks for a fabulous recipe!

<img src=http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p241/CulinaryQueen/thhelloicon.gif> UPDATED: 15 Aug 2007 Hi! Thanks for taking a peek at my page! I'm formally from East Norriton, PA, a suburb of Philadelphia. After 21 years of marriage, got divorced and met a Brit living in the U.S. He decided to come back to his homeland and I came over here about a year later. We were married in October 2005. Here I am down at Viking Bay which is only two miles from our house. My hubby grew up down here and I love living near the seaside. <img src=http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p241/CulinaryQueen/rosebud.gif> <img src=http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p241/CulinaryQueen/love_123.gif> We adopted two rescue cats in May 2007 and now I have some company during the day! (Yeah sure, great company they are when they sleep all day!) Our two 'children'...

I have a husband who can cook! I cook during the week and Peter cooks on the weekends. I have included some of his concoctions in my list of recipes. <img src=http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p241/CulinaryQueen/condimen.gif> Me at the Scotland border, August 2005 <img src=http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p241/CulinaryQueen/Places%20we%20have%20been/19Scotland.jpg> I'm still unemployed which gives me plenty of time to experiment in the kitchen. I love to cook and try different things and 'Zaar has really helped in that aspect. I'd love to start my own business someday selling some of my homemade creations. <img src=http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p241/CulinaryQueen/i_want_it_all.gif> <img src=http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p241/CulinaryQueen/give_me_chocolate_or.gif> <img src=http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p241/CulinaryQueen/zaargroupie.gif> I'm a Betty Boop freak and have loads of stuff that I've collected over the years including a porcelain doll of her in a wedding dress and I even have her tattooed on my ankle. <img src=http://www.gifszone.com/"><img border="0" src="http://www.gifszone.com/content/icon/cartoon/cartoon_10.gif"> ~~~~~~~<img src=http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p241/CulinaryQueen/bettyboop36.gif> I enjoy doing cross stitch, cooking, baking and entertaining and hubby and I love our wines! Some of my pet peeves are bad hygiene, rudeness, bad manners, laziness and people who litter. My favorite cookbook is my Betty Crocker Cookybook. I've had a copy since I was about 12 and it was falling apart. My brother got me a new copy a couple of years ago from ebay and it was a FIRST EDITION and was in excellent condition. Now that I'm here in England, I find myself collecting more cookbooks. I'm going to need another room just for them if I don't cut down a bit! <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/200_artistrichardneuman-art-prints_.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><img src=http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p241/CulinaryQueen/samethingsticker.jpg> <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/1535/CLC1.gif"><img src=http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p241/CulinaryQueen/RegSwap1-1.jpg> <img src="http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/KiwiDutch/3chefstag1.jpg"><img src="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f249/Dreamgoddess555/Narrow1-1.jpg"><img src="http://www.pickle.com/plink/ph/795B07337A4704307B51032E7D5E0237795A1C512307476E143E5A652E076C34725B06357F500533140741682C4659712C.jpg" border="0" alt="adoptatagparticipant" title="Photo and Video Sharing"/> <img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/cookbookswap.jpg> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Drink-Challenge.jpg"> <img src=http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p241/CulinaryQueen/DrinkChallenge.jpg> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://www.tinycounter.com" target="_blank" title="web site hit counter"><img border="0" alt="web site hit counter" src="http://mycounter.tinycounter.com/index.php?user=CulinaryQueen"></a>
