PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED CHICKEN THIGHS image

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 large cloves garlic, peeled and very thinly sliced
1 package or bundle fresh rosemary
8 pieces good quality boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed of fat
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 thin slices prosciutto di Parma
2 lemons, cut into thin wedges
Drizzle balsamic vinegar

Steps:

Heat a grill pan, griddle pan, or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Pour about 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil into a shallow dish and add the garlic. Strip the leaves off one sprig of rosemary and finely chop, about 1 tablespoon. Add the chopped rosemary to the bowl with the garlic and oil. Break the remaining rosemary up into 8 small sprigs about the size of the chicken pieces. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper to taste, and add them to the garlic mixture. Turn to coat (I used my hands for this). Wrap the chicken pieces in prosciutto, placing a rosemary sprig in the center before wrapping. The sprigs should stick out a bit at the edges of the ham. Drizzle the chicken with more oil and bake these at 375F for 40 minutes Drizzle balsamic vinegar on top before serving and serve with lemon slices.
