Prosciutto Chicken

7.1.13 By Annie N

Prosciutto Chicken

Dang it I miss my kitchen! 🙁 I haven’t been able to bake for over a week! It’s killing me, my brain is buzzing with loads of things to make and I’ve got 10+ new cookbooks I need to make things from! Stupid Uni, knew I shouldn’t have gone back this year.

I know a lot of people think horoscopes are a load of rubbish, but I always read mine and it said that this year I will be more forthcoming with my ambitions and make big decisions on where I’m heading. I’m convinced this means going ahead and starting up on my own. I really want a coffee shop, I know it’s a long way off, but this is where I want to go, I’m trying so hard to just knuckle down and do my Uni work, but it’s so hard to do it when your heart isn’t in it… I am so happy in my kitchen, I’m feeling ever more confident that it’s my calling in life, not putting up with all the rubbish at Uni 🙁

Any time I think I can see the end, I find out there’s a whole heap of other stuff that needs to be done that they suddenly spring on us at the last minute.

Anyway, we wanted to try something different for dinner one night and I found a great sounding recipe in a book I bought recently, prosciutto chicken. It has quickly become one of our favourite dinners. It’s so delicious and so simple. It really is the simple things in life sometimes! In fact as I type this (Saturday evening – I’m at Uni all day Monday :/) it’s cooking in the oven and smelling divine. It’s definitely a good one for a busy weeknight, only about 10 minutes of hands on time and then you just leave it in the oven!
