Instructions
- 1 Pre-heat the oven to 180°C, 350°F, Gas Mark 4. Cut a slit into the side of each chicken breast to form a pocket and then open out to form a butterfly.
- 2 In a bowl mix together the butter and Perfect Shake Garlic Italian Special Blend. Spread the butter mixture inside the opened chicken breast and roll back up.
- 3 Wrap 2 slices of ham around each chicken breast and secure with a cocktail stick. Place the chicken breasts in a small ovenproof dish and pour over the chicken stock.
- 4 Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes or until cooked through, removing the foil for the last 10 minutes.
