Avocado and prosciutto chicken

Avocado and prosciutto chicken is a delicious and healthy meal that combines the creamy richness of avocado with the savory taste of prosciutto. This recipe is perfect for a quick and satisfying dinner that will surely impress your family and friends.

Ingredients:

3 potatoes
600g
salt & pepper to taste
4 chicken thighs
400g
1 avocado
200g
3 slices prosciutto
50g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into even-sized chunks.
- Place the potato chunks in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until just tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and set them aside.
3. Season the Chicken:
- While the potatoes are boiling, season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
4. Cook the Chicken:
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of oil if necessary.
- Place the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear until the skin is crispy and golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Flip the chicken thighs and cook the other side for an additional 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
5. Bake the Chicken and Potatoes:
- Transfer the boiled potatoes to the skillet with the chicken thighs, arranging them around the chicken.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the potatoes are golden and crispy.
6. Prepare the Avocado and Prosciutto:
- While the chicken and potatoes are baking, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice the avocado thinly.
- Tear the prosciutto slices into smaller pieces or strips.
7. Assemble the Dish:
- Once the chicken and potatoes are done, remove the skillet from the oven.
- Arrange the avocado slices over the chicken thighs.
- Scatter the prosciutto pieces over the top.
8. Serve:
- Serve the Avocado and Prosciutto Chicken hot, with the crispy potatoes on the side.

Tips:

- Choose ripe avocados for the best flavor and texture.

- Season the chicken thighs well with salt and pepper to enhance the overall taste.

- Make sure to cook the chicken thoroughly until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain its juices.

- If you prefer a crispier prosciutto, you can lightly pan-fry it before using it in the recipe.

Avocado and prosciutto chicken is a simple yet flavorful dish that brings together delicious ingredients in perfect harmony.
