Prosciutto-wrapped chicken with spring veg recipe

1 rating

This spring traybake is bursting with fresh, zingy flavours and vibrant veg. The prosciutto-wrapped chicken looks fancy, but it's a doddle to prepare and there's even leftover veg for a soup the next day; see tip, below. A fab midweek meal or alternative Sunday roast. See method

Method

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put the potatoes in a saucepan, cover with cold water, then bring to the boil. Simmer for 6-8 mins until just tender. Drain; set aside to steam-dry for 5 mins.
Divide the potatoes, garlic and courgettes between 2 baking trays, drizzle over 2 tbsp oil, season and stir to coat. Wrap a prosciutto slice around each chicken breast, tucking a tarragon sprig into each (don’t worry if the prosciutto tears a little). Season the chicken, then place 2 breasts in each tray, seal-side down. Scatter over the lemon slices, drizzle over the remaining oil, then bake for 10 mins. Stir in the leeks, then bake for 15-20 mins until tender, the potatoes are golden and the chicken is cooked through.
Meanwhile, boil the peas for 3 mins; drain and set aside. Squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skins and into a bowl; mash with a fork. Mix in the crème fraîche, lemon zest and 2 tsp juice (or to taste), the mustard and the chopped tarragon (thick stalks discarded); season.
Transfer the chicken breasts and lemon slices to a plate to rest for 5 mins, then stir the blanched peas through the potatoes and veg. Reserve 900g potato and vegetable mix for the soup (see tip, below), then serve the chicken with the remaining potatoes and veg with the tarragon sauce on the side.

Tip: Use the leftovers to make our Roasted leek and potato soup.
