Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Mix the mascarpone with the rosemary, garlic and seasoning. Place the chicken breasts on a board and lift, but don't detach, the skin. Put a spoonful of the mascarpone mix under the skin of each breast. Wrap 2 slices of prosciutto around each, as neatly and tightly as you can, to keep the filling enclosed.
  2. Heat a non-stick frying pan, add the olive oil and quickly brown the chicken on both sides. Transfer to a roasting tin, then finish off in the oven for 15-20 mins until just cooked.
  3. Add the lemon juice to the roasting tin and stir over the heat, scraping off any crispy bits. Spoon the juices over the chicken and serve with potatoes and green beans.

Tip

If the chicken feels firm when prodded at its thickest part, then it's cooked all the way through.

    The supermarket had ran out of mascarpone cheese and we resorted to ricotta cheese as a replacement. Served with roast veg and cheese and herb mash. Lovely Dish!

    I forgot to buy the chicken with the skin on so I laid the breasts on foil and spooned the marscapone over the top and covered with the proscuito. I used 2 garlic cloves - delicious.

    I really enjoyed this, but it was a bit fiddly and the mascarpone spilled out a bit. Also, I found that the rosemary overpowered this a bit so next time I would use less or leave it out completely. We had this with Gordon Ramsay's oven chips and salad.

    Definitely worth cooking with the skin removed - as skin does not crisp if left on - jus goes a bit soggy! Really tasty and great for a dinner party, pop into the oven just as you're serving your starter - job done!

    This was very tasty and one to do again. Like others, I used skinless chicken breasts and made a pocket which I filled with the mascarpone.

    This was fab and very tasty. Cut a slit in the chicken as suggested, will definitely be doing this again although my sometime fussy 19 month old wasn't that keen on it!

    So easy and tasted AMAZING. This dish is impressive, will certainly be making it many more times. I did what everyone else did and cut pockets in the chicken. It was lovely.

    So easy but so tasty!! I also bought skin free chicken breast and cut a pocket, then wrapped in serano ham....mmmm. I did it as a quick midweek meal, but would have no hesitation serving at a dinner party in the future.

    No skin: cover the breasts with cling-filn then use a meat hammer to flatten them - nice and tin and big so you can roll everything up and its so tender. Everyone loved it.

    This was great, easy and very tasty. We didn't use chicken skins either, and found that the proscuitto was enough to stick the mascarpone mix to the chicken :)

    Placed straight into the oven to roast, alongside some shallots which were a great accompaniment. Lovely recipe will definitely be making it again

    Mixed the cheese with pesto, used skinless chicken breasts and wrapped in bacon - v.v. scrummy!! Roasted with cherry tomatoes and carrots. Had with homemade bread from another recipe on the site.

    Have cooked this many many times. 5 * I prefer to stuff a skinless breast though. Really nice with the olive oil crushed new potatoes recipe.
