I was cooking (and experimenting with) one of my favourite recipes today – Garlic Chicken wrapped in Parma Ham and decided to play around with the Parma Ham.

Before wrapping the Chicken, I lightly brushed the Parma Ham with Balsamic Vinegar, then wrapped it around the Chicken. And blimey, what a difference! It made the chicken more flavoursome and Parma Ham nice a crispy.

Go on, give it a try…

This Recipe tastes great and is simple to make.  All it takes is wrapping chicken with Parma ham and rubbing some garlic and marjoram in-between.  Why stop with chicken?  You can use this technique with anything! View the recipe here and make sure you have the following:

- Chicken Breasts (x2)
- Parma Ham (x6 slices)
- Marjoram (x1 tsp)
- Garlic (x2 cloves
- Olive Oil (x1 tbsp
- Peas (to serve)

So I was following a recipe the other day, it was roasted veg layered with chicken and a cheese sauce on top (tasted pukka by the way). The recipe was for a whole chicken – poached in a pan of simmering water for one hour. I’ve always thought poached chicken would taste kinda, well, disgusting. However, it turned out to be the perfect way to cook a chicken.

Poaching is great because it’s a healthy way to cook (no oil), the skin is easy to remove, and the meat literally just falls of the bone. One thing I hate about cooking a chicken is getting the meat off and poaching totally solves the problem.

It’s easier and clean up is a whole lot easier afterwards, and if you can be really bothered, you can use the water afterwards to make chicken stock.
