Flat Roasted Chicken With Prosciutto And Green Olives Recipe
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 x free-range chicken - (3 1/2 to 4 lbs) Salt to taste Freshly-grnd black pepper to taste
- 1/4 lb prosciutto in one piece diced 1/2" cubes
- 1/3 c. chopped shallots
- 2 x garlic cloves chopped
- 1/2 c. whole green olives unpitted
- 1/2 c. white wine Salt to taste Freshly-grnd black pepper to taste
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- With a sharp heavy knife, split the chicken down the backbone and open it up. Turn it breast-side up and flatten with the palm of your hand. Cut a slit in the skin at the bottom of the breast and slip the "ankles" of the chicken through the slit. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the chicken, breast-side down, to a lightly oiled roasting pan. Bake for 45 min. While the chicken is baking, prepare and combine the prosciutto, shallots, garlic and olives.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and transfer to a plate. Remove any accumulated fat from the roasting pan. Scatter the prosciutto mix proportionately in the roasting pan and add in the white wine. Place the chicken skin-side up into the pan. Bake for 45 min longer.
- Remove the chicken from the pan. Either carve the chicken or possibly cut it up into serving pcs. Pour the prosciutto mix over the chicken and serve.
- This recipe yields 3 to 4 servings.
- Description: "This Italian chicken dish will have wonderful smells coming from your oven - especially welcoming on a chilly night. Serve it over raw spinach to make a hot salad. The heat of the chicken will cook the spinach slightly."
