Prosciutto Chicken in Mushroom Sauce | Donal Skehan


if you are in search of a brilliantly
different little supper dish then I have
got the perfect one for you it’s my
prosciutto-wrapped chicken stuffed with
lots of beautiful spinach and cheese and
bread crumbs and then it’s made with
this lovely little mushroom sauce which
is so creamy and delicious you are going
to be obsessed with this one this is the
one that you make again and again so it
starts off by making the stuffing I’ve
got some chicken breasts here I’ve got
some spinach which I’m gonna put in a
bowl and then in on top of that I have
some bread crumbs and a cheese mixture
which I’m just gonna put in here and
what you want to do is just mix it
through so you have a really nice
stuffing and when it goes into the oven
and Fries off its gonna be beautifully
melted and gorgeous so all I’m gonna do
is just use my hands give that a good
mix through until you have a nice even
mixture and over here I’ve got some
lovely beautiful chicken breasts and
what you want to do to make sure that
you stuffed your chicken breasts
beautifully get a sharp knife and then
look at kind of the thickest part of it
and just press your hand on one side of
it and we run a sharp knife just across
this when you do have a little pocket
like this you know there’s a temptation
that it looks a little bit like a mint
and I kind of think to myself
give me some stuffing okay okay I’m
gonna stop favorite my favorite you know
it’s entertained everyone here I’m going
to stop playing with my food and I’m
gonna put some stuffing into it so get
all of that lovely cheesy mixture that
lovely spinach in there and press it
right in you want a nice thick packed
lovely stuffed chicken breast in there
and don’t worry if it goes all over the
place the beauty of this recipe is that
it’s just so full of flavor that you
don’t have to worry about it being
perfect and then using some beautiful
slices of salty prosciutto ham we’re
gonna wrap this around just to make sure
that our stuffing doesn’t go anywhere
and sticks in quite nicely and just
repeat that with the rest of them
and once they’re nice and fine like that
I’m just gonna wash my hands and then
we’re gonna fry these off until we’ve
got them really nice and golden once you
have a beautiful color on all sides you
just want to turn it around and keep it
turning until you get a nice golden
color on all sides and then transfer
these eggs into a roasting tin have a
look at this beautiful golden prosciutto
on the outside and now all I’m gonna do
is transfer this into a roasting dish so
these go straight into the oven the
owners set to 200 degrees Celsius and
you want to cook it off just until
they’re nicely cooked through about 20
minutes depending on the size of your
chicken breasts but don’t throw away
that oil in the pan that are in the pan
now and all that beautiful salty flavor
from the prosciutto the chicken in there
and all those lovely herby bread crumbs
and cheesiness gone in there as well so
don’t throw that away what we’re gonna
do is we’re gonna make a beautiful sauce
that is gonna go alongside this a
beautiful mushroom sauce and the great
thing about making a mushroom sauce is
that you can use a whole load of
different mushrooms if you’re not mad
about them this isn’t the sauce for you
but this I promise you is delicious so
what I have is a collection a mixture of
chopped shitake and some chestnut
mushrooms and we just sliced them up
nice and fine here have a look at that
was beautiful there are fresh mushrooms
and you could use chanterelles here you
could really use any mushrooms you have
a good forest mixture is lovely but I
also have my secret ingredient is some
of these dried porcini mushrooms so what
I’m gonna do is just soak these in a
little bit of chicken stock so I’m gonna
leave these to sit just in that little
sauce we’re gonna start off by frying in
that pan with all that beautiful olive
oil and prosciutto fat and everything
all those lovely gorgeousness we’re
gonna get some onions in here and we’re
also gonna get a little bit of garlic
I’m just gonna fry them off until
they’re nice and tender
check it out these lovely little onion
pieces and garlic have done wonderfully
tender and golden so at this point all
those fresh mushrooms get tumbled in
here and to help them along and to kind
of increase the flavor here in this
sauce I’m just going to add a few knobs
of butter in here it really does help
add a kind of creamy texture to this
mushroom garlic onion mixture now while
that’s frying off my chicken should be
just about done so I’m gonna take it out
of the oven and just to finish it off
I’m gonna add some more of that lovely
cheese and bread crumb mixture over the
top so we get a nice crunch over the top
so just a little bit sprinkled over the
top just for that extra little bit of
crunch in there the cheese will melt
down and the breadcrumbs will become
beautifully crisp and then served
alongside that lovely lovely mushroom
sauce you’re going to be left with
something that he’s a proper treat this
goes back into the oven now to cook up
and let’s check the mushroom sauce
looking good over here very very nice
and it’s really kind of just reduced
right down so at this point I’m gonna
get back in with all that lovely dried
porcini mushrooms which are no longer
dried now and now we’re into starting to
make our lovely sauce so give that a
good mix through and start to pour in
some of that lovely cream look at that
this is a serious mushroom sauce and if
you could smell it it just smells so
good you lovely hint of garlic and onion
really helps it along as well so that
sauce is pretty much ready to go and my
chicken in the oven should be just about
done let’s have a look oh yeah look at
that beautiful color on the top and it
should be just about cooked through to
finish this off I’m gonna take that
lovely sauce while it’s still hot and
just spoon it around at this point if
