  • ¼ teaspoon grated nutmeg

  • Chop the spinach and mix into the ricotta with the nutmeg.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the stuffing between the slits in the chicken breasts and wrap each one in 2 pieces of Parma ham, winding it around the chicken to cover the meat totally.
  • Heat the oil in a shallow ovenproof pan, add the chicken breasts and cook for 4 minutes on each side, or until the ham starts to brown.

Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:

For chicken with mozzarella & sun-dried tomatoes,

omit the ricotta, spinach and nutmeg, and stuff each chicken breast with a 40 g slice of mozzarella cheese and a drained piece of sun-dried tomato. Season well with pepper and continue as for Chicken with spinach & ricotta.
