Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lay the chicken breasts out on a clean surface.
- Wrap each chicken breast with a slice of prosciutto. Set aside.
- Place the prosciutto-wrapped chicken breasts on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the prosciutto is crispy. An internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) indicates the chicken is fully cooked.
- While the chicken is baking, peel and chop the sweet potatoes into roughly equal-sized chunks.
- Place the sweet potato chunks into a large pot and cover them with water.
- Add a dash of salt to the water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
- Once the water reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to medium and let the sweet potatoes cook until they are tender (usually about 15-20 minutes).
- Drain the cooked sweet potatoes and return them to the pot.
- Pour in the 1/2 cup of milk.
- Use a potato masher or fork to mash the sweet potatoes until smooth and creamy. Add a bit more milk if necessary to reach your desired consistency.
5. Season and Serve:
- Taste the sweet potato mash and add additional salt if needed.
- Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
- Serve the prosciutto-wrapped chicken breasts alongside the sweet potato mash.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, season the chicken breasts with a bit of pepper or your favorite herbs before wrapping them in prosciutto.
- Make sure to boil the sweet potatoes until they are very soft; this will make mashing them easier and the texture smoother.
- If you prefer a richer mash, you can substitute whole milk or even a bit of cream for the 1% milk.
- Allow the prosciutto to become crispy by baking the chicken at a slightly higher temperature for a few minutes or finishing it off under the broiler.
- Taste the sweet potato mash before adding additional salt, as the prosciutto will already contribute some saltiness to the dish.
Prosciutto chicken with sweet potato mash is a flavorful and wholesome meal that's both easy to prepare and impressive to serve. By following these steps and tips, you can create a delicious dish that's sure to become a favorite in your home. Enjoy the harmonious blend of savory and sweet flavors, and relish in the satisfaction of a homemade meal that's both healthy and delicious.
