This simply yet tasty dish was enjoyed by one and all last night.
Very easy to prepare, this one pot wonder is perfect not only for a busy week night but would be a perfect dish when entertaining. The simplicity in the preparation is not reflected in the finished dish considering the look, smell and flavour - magnificent.
The lemon wasn't sweet but complimented the chicken just as the saltiness of the proscuitto did. Served with creamy mashed potatoes and vegetables I think this recipe would please even the fussiest of diners.
