It's Chicken....again or Is It?

Chicken again, man! Sometimes a girl just wants to have fun and no better place is there than creating fun for your taste buds! So again fresh herbs will do the trick add a bit of fancy ham better known as Prosciutto and we are well on our way to a fun, easy and DELICIOUS dinner.  Give this recipe a try courtesy of Rachel Ray.



Prosciutto Wrapped Rosemary Chicken Thighs



Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 2 large cloves garlic, peeled and very thinly sliced
  • 1 package or bundle fresh rosemary
  • 8 pieces good quality boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breast, trimmed of fat
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 thin slices prosciutto di Parma
  • 2 lemons, cut into thin wedges
  • Drizzle balsamic vinegar

Directions

Heat a double burner grill pan, griddle pan, or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
Pour about 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil into a shallow dish and add the garlic.
Strip the leaves off a sprig of rosemary and finely chop, about 1 tablespoon. Add the chopped rosemary to the bowl with the garlic and oil. Break the remaining rosemary up into 8 small sprigs about the size of the chicken pieces.
Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, to taste, and add them to the garlic mixture. Turn to coat. Wrap the chicken pieces in prosciutto, securing the ham with a sprig of rosemary as you wrap. The sprigs should stick out a bit at the edges of the ham. Drizzle the chicken with more oil and grill for 12 minutes, turning occasionally.
Serve 2 pieces of chicken for each serving, along with some lemon wedges for squeezing over the top. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and serve.
