Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 3 minutes then rinse in cold water and drain.
  2. Put the chicken between 2 pieces of clingfilm then gently bash out to thin it a little. Lay a couple of sage leaves on the smooth side of each thigh then wrap in a piece of parma ham. Dust each piece in seasoned flour. Heat 1/3 of the butter in a large non-stick frying pan. Cook the chicken for 2-3 minutes each side until golden then transfer to the oven for 10 minutes.
  3. Add a little more butter to the pan and cook the shallots for 2 minutes. Add the wine and stock and boil hard until reduced and syrupy. Add the last bit of butter, whisk in, then add the beans and stir to heat through.
  4. Divide the beans between 2 plates and lay the chicken on top.

    Tasted lovely. I added a little bit of cream to the sauce the second time I made this recipe to give it a slightly different taste, worked well. It's good, simple and tasty recipe!

    this was really yummy and easy to do. however i used chicken breasts instead of the thighs but i am sure it would be just as tasty if i had used thighs. i also added a splash of double cream to the sauce after it had reduced which worked really well. defo make this again.

    Easy and tasty. We used breasts instead of thighs, and served it with tagliatelle with garlic and butter. We will definitely make it again.
