Stuffed Chicken Wrapped in Proscuitto

Welcome to my fourth blog. This time I'm bringing gourmet restaurant goodness straight to your dinner table at home with this stunning stuffed chicken wrapped in proscuitto...

                                         

Just look at it - chicken breasts stuffed with whole grain mustard, edam cheese and fresh basil. Wrapped in proscuitto ham. Served with creamy mash, roasted carrots and a delicate white wine and parsley pan sauce. This is the absolute perfect winter warmer to bring food straight from a michelin quality restaurant to your very own dinner table. This one comes from the King of Quarantine food, @letsmunch on TikTok. 

This isn't our usual low-calorie option, but for lack of better words, who cares?! This is worth every single calorie. This recipe will majorly impress anyone you cook this for because it looks just as amazing as it tastes. Pair it with a glass of wine, shut your eyes, and you won't believe that this isn't the work of a professional.
