  1. CRISP

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the carrot wedges on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Remove the skin from the chicken breast and lay out the skin flat on a separate roasting tray with seasoning. Roast both trays in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until crisping up.

  2. FLATTEN

    Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towel and place on a chopping board. Slice into one side of the breast, starting at the thicker end and ending at the thin point (don’t cut all the way through.) Open out the breast so that it resembles a butterfly. Cover with cling wrap and pummel with a rolling pin or bottle to create an even thickness.

  3. STUFF

    Place the flattened chicken breast, cut-side down, on the chopping board and season. Cover with ham, leaving a small gap around the edges of the breast. Sprinkle over the mozzarella cheese. Lightly wet the edges of the breast with water, then dust with a little flour. Fold the breast in half, so the ham and cheese is encased inside the breast. Press the edges together to firmly seal. You may need to secure the breast closed with a few toothpicks.

  4. 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 a mixture of the breadcrumbs, ½ the chopped parsley, and the grated hard cheese. Coat the stuffed breast in the flour first, then in the egg, and lastly in the crumb mixture. Place a pan over a medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the coated breast for 2-3 minutes per side until golden. Remove from the pan on completion and transfer to a roasting tray. Place in the hot oven and cook for 8-10 minutes until cooked through.

  5. TOSS

    In a salad bowl, combine the rinsed green leaves, the halved olives, the halved baby tomatoes, the cucumber half-moons, the hard cheese ribbons, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning.

  6. YUM!

    Dish up the roasted carrot wedges. Side with the stuffed chicken breast and serve the salad alongside. Crumble over the crispy chicken skin. Garnish with the remaining parsley.
