Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- 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.
- While the potatoes are boiling, season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
