CRISP Carrot
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Rinse, trim, peel and cut the Carrot into wedges. Spread the carrot on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway).
SOME PREP
Rinse and finely slice the chives, rinse the salad leaves, drain and halve the olives, drain and crumble the feta, rinse and cut the Cucumber into half-moons. Set aside.
BUTTERFLY Chicken
Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel and place on a chopping board. Use a sharp knife to slice into one side of the chicken, starting at the thicker side and ending at the thinner point (be careful not to cut all the way through). Open up the chicken so that it resembles a butterfly. Cover with cling wrap and pummel with a rolling pin to create an even thickness.
STUFFED Chicken
Place the flattened Chicken breast, cut-side down, on the chopping board and season. Cover with 3-4 slices of ham, leaving a small gap around the edges of the breast/s. Sprinkle over the mozzarella cheese. Lightly wet the edges of the breast/s with water, then dust with a little flour. Fold the breast/s in half, so the ham and cheese are encased inside. Press the edges together to firmly seal. You may need to secure the breast/s closed with a few toothpicks.
COAT & FRY
Whisk 1 egg in a shallow dish with a tsp of water. Prepare two more shallow dishes: one containing the flour and the other containing the cheese crumb and ½ the chives. Coat the stuffed breast/s in the flour first, then in the egg, and, lastly, in the crumb mixture. Place a pan over medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the coated breast until golden, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and transfer to a roasting tray. Roast in the hot oven until cooked through, 8-10 minutes.
TOSSED SALAD
In a salad bowl, combine the salad leaves, olives, feta, Cucumber, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
YUM!
