Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 chicken breasts
4 slices prosciutto
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 large leeks
2/3 cup white wine
2 cups vegetable broth
4 leeks, to serve

Steps:

  • Set the oven to 350°F Wrap each chicken breast with a slice of prosciutto.
  • Cut the leeks in half from top to tail, straight down the centre and separate the layers into ribbon like pieces.
  • Heat the oil in an ovenproof frying pan and fry the chicken breasts on all sides until golden. It doesn't need to cook through - you just want to seal the outside. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  • Add the wine and broth to the pan and poach the leeks until soft but not falling apart.
  • Allow them to cool slightly, and then wrap the strips of leek around the chicken.
  • Return the chicken to the pan, place in the oven and cook for 20 minutes.
  • Serve immediately with extra leeks on the side.
