Ingredients

4 slice prosciutto

4 small chicken breasts

2 tablespoon olive oil

60 gram butter

3 pears, cored, cut into wedges

1/4 cup maple syrup

mashed potato, steamed green beans, to serve

Method

1.Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C.

2.Wrap 1 piece of prosciutto around each chicken breast, securing with toothpicks.

3.Heat oil in a large frying pan on medium. Cook chicken for 2-3 minutes each side, until browned. Arrange on a baking tray. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until cooked through.

4.Meanwhile, add butter to same pan on low. Saute pears for 2-3 minutes, until lightly golden. Add maple syrup. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, until syrup thickens.

Browning the chicken breasts and then finishing them off in the oven helps keep them moist.
