I feel like chicken tonight..

Like chicken tonight.. Yeah yeah we eat a lot of chicken here. It's lean and full of protein! And it's just so damn tasty.
I love cooking as I go, always changing something as I'm going along.. What started out as simple boring roast chicken breast fillets became this:


Chicken breast fillets
Wheel, block, wedge, call it whatever of Camembert cheese
Handful of baby spinach
Slices of prosciutto ham (it's like bacon, but fancier.) I use 2 per breast

With a side of:
Some baby carrots diced
1 large leek sliced
2 medium potatos diced small to match the carrot
1/4 cup white wine or chicken stock

Throw this into a pan and sauté on medium-low. While that's cooking away, tend to the chicken below..

Slice the rind off the cheese if you don't like it, cut it into blocks and slice/finger a pocket into each breast fillet.. yes that's right. Use your fingers. Stuff the cheese into the chicken, and stuff some spinach in there too.  Seal it off in a hot pan so the chicken is lightly golden, remove from the pan then while burning your fingers, wrap the prosciutto around each fillet. Move them to a baking dish and bake at around 180C until cooked. The sautéed leek, carrot and potato should be ready when the chicken is cooked. Enjoy!
