Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup olive oil 🫒
- 1/3 cup grapefruit juice 🍊
- 1 clove garlic, minced 🧄
- 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon, chopped 🌿
- 1 tablespoon grainy mustard 🌰
- 1 teaspoon salt 🧂
- 1 teaspoon sugar 🍬
- 4 chicken breasts 🐔
- 20 slices prosciutto 🥓
- 3-4 medium potatoes, thickly sliced 🥔
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed 🌱
- 1 cup snow peas or green beans 🌽
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by setting your oven to 200°C (390°F), ensuring it’s ready for the chicken to roast to perfection. 🔥
-
Prepare the Dressing: In a small jug, combine the olive oil, grapefruit juice, minced garlic, chopped fresh tarragon, grainy mustard, salt, and sugar. Whisk these ingredients together until well mixed. Allow the dressing to sit for at least an hour so the flavors can meld together and develop a harmonious taste. 🍶
-
Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a touch of olive oil, then pan-fry the chicken breasts for about 2-3 minutes per side, just until they are golden and sealed. This step locks in the juices and flavor. Once done, remove the chicken from the pan and let it cool slightly. 🥘
-
Wrap the Chicken: Take the chicken breasts and wrap each one with prosciutto, using approximately 4-5 slices per breast. The prosciutto adds a crispy, savory layer that complements the tender chicken beautifully. 🥩
-
Roast the Chicken: Place the prosciutto-wrapped chicken on a rack or a baking tray and transfer it to the preheated oven. Roast for about 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the prosciutto is crispy. 🕰️
-
Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken is roasting, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the thickly sliced potatoes and cook until they are tender but not mushy, which should take about 10-12 minutes. In the final minute of cooking, add the asparagus and snow peas or green beans to the boiling water. This brief cooking time will keep the vegetables crisp and vibrant. 🥦
-
Toss the Vegetables: Drain the cooked vegetables and toss them with a small amount of the prepared grapefruit tarragon dressing. This adds a delightful tang and ensures every bite is flavorful. 🍽️
-
Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the dressed vegetables on plates, place the prosciutto-wrapped chicken on top, and drizzle with a bit more of the grapefruit tarragon dressing. This final touch will enhance the flavors and make your dish look even more appetizing. Serve immediately and enjoy the wonderful combination of tastes and textures! 🍴
